Igreja Matriz do Bonfim, Neoclassical church in Bonfim, Porto, Portugal.
The church presents a symmetrical facade with two 42-meter bell towers and a triangular pediment featuring a high relief lamb symbolizing Jesus Christ.
Construction of the current church took place from 1874 to 1894, replacing a chapel from 1786 to accommodate the growing population of Porto.
The church interior contains a barrel vault decorated with stucco work and a main altar featuring a Calvary panel painting by Júlio Costa.
The church stands at the intersection of Alameda de Cláudio Carneiro and Rua do Bonfim, within walking distance of Porto's central railway station.
The pipe organ inside the church originated from the Benedictine Monastery of Avé Maria, salvaged before its demolition for São Bento Station construction.
