Igreja Matriz de Vila do Conde
Igreja Matriz de Vila do Conde, 15th-century church in Vila do Conde, Portugal
The Igreja Matriz features three naves, a Renaissance bell tower from 1573, and decorative stone carvings on its main portal reflecting maritime elements.
The church construction began in 1502 during King Manuel I's visit to Vila do Conde, who contributed funds and established taxes to support the expenses.
The church interior contains thirteen gilded wooden altars and stained glass windows from Paris depicting scenes from the life of Christ and Saint John Baptist.
The church welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 19:30, with daily masses at 19:00 and varied Sunday schedules.
The building represents one of the largest parish churches in Portugal, featuring vaulted ceilings in the chapels adorned with maritime-themed stone decorations.
