Capela das Almas, Religious chapel on Santa Catarina Street, Porto, Portugal.
The exterior walls of Capela das Almas display 15,947 blue and white azulejo tiles covering 360 square meters of surface area.
The Brotherhood of Souls moved from Santa Clara Monastery to this location in the late eighteenth century, leading to construction of the current building.
The azulejo tiles narrate religious stories through detailed scenes from the lives of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
The chapel remains accessible to visitors specifically on Tuesdays between 3:00 AM and 5:15 AM, requiring early morning planning for interior visits.
The interior features a nineteenth-century stained glass window by Amandio Silva that depicts souls in Purgatory being saved by Christ's blood.
