Clérigos Tower and Church, Baroque church and bell tower in Porto, Portugal
The granite structure rises 75.6 meters above Porto, featuring ornamental details and religious motifs characteristic of 18th-century Portuguese architecture.
Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni completed the religious complex in 1763, creating this monumental landmark for the Brotherhood of Clerics.
The church interior displays Portuguese baroque artistry through marble carvings, gilded woodwork, and a polychromatic altarpiece by Manuel Porto.
Visitors can climb 225 steps to reach the tower observation platform, which provides views across Porto, the Douro River, and the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1917, a Spanish acrobatic duo, the Puertullanos, performed a daring external climb of the tower before a large crowd of spectators.
