Santo Ildefonso, Baroque church in Cedofeita, Portugal
The Igreja de Santo Ildefonso displays a facade decorated with 11,000 blue and white azulejo tiles depicting religious scenes and narratives from the Gospels.
The construction of the current church began in 1709 after demolishing an older chapel, with the main structure completed by 1730 and final elements finished in 1739.
The interior features an altarpiece designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, stained glass windows, and a pipe organ dating from 1811.
The church maintains daily mass schedules and stands near Praça da Batalha, with multiple public transportation options connecting visitors to other Porto destinations.
The exterior azulejo tilework, installed in 1932 by Jorge Colaço, covers the entire facade with detailed scenes from Saint Ildefonso's life.
