Igreja da Venerável Ordem Terceira de São Francisco
Igreja da Venerável Ordem Terceira de São Francisco, Neoclassical church in São Nicolau, Porto, Portugal
The church features a symmetrical facade with two bell towers, incorporating classical elements and proportions throughout its architectural design.
Construction began in 1792 under Italian architect Luigi Chiari, marking the introduction of religious classical architecture in Porto.
The church functions as part of a museum complex, displaying religious artifacts and art pieces that represent Porto's Catholic traditions.
Located between Igreja de São Francisco and Casa do Despacho, the church offers guided tours that include access to the underground cemetery.
The church's catacombs served as burial grounds for Franciscan brotherhood members until November 1845, when the Health Law prohibited church burials.
