Church of São Luís dos Franceses, French baroque church near Portas de Santo Antão, Lisbon, Portugal

The church interior features three Carrara marble altars, polychrome stucco vaulted ceilings, and 18th-century decorative tiles covering the walls.

Founded in 1522 by the Brotherhood of Blessed Saint Louis, the church underwent reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake and completed its renovation in 1622.

The church maintains its original purpose as a religious center for the French community in Lisbon, with services conducted by Lazarist priests since 1860.

The building underwent complete restoration in 2011 through collaboration between the French state and several corporate sponsors including Credit Agricole and Alstom.

The upper floor previously housed Saint Louis Hospital, which provided medical assistance to French citizens in need before relocating to Bairro Alto.
