Igreja do Corpo Santo de Massarelos, Maritime church in Massarelos, Portugal
The church combines two bell towers with a central circular window on its facade, decorated with traditional Portuguese blue and white tiles.
The construction began in 1776, replacing an earlier chapel established by the Brotherhood of Corpo Santo de Massarelos, founded in 1394 by sailors.
The Brotherhood maintained a fleet of five ships to protect the coast against pirates, demonstrating the strong connection between maritime life and religious practices.
Located at Largo do Adro near Rua da Restauração, the church features a single nave interior with the main altar being the oldest section.
The church treasury preserves a 16th-century silver monstrance and contains frescoes painted by Italian artist Silvestro Silvestri in Byzantine style.
