Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Portimão

The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição presents a Gothic portal with gilded capitals, three naves separated by columns, and four side chapels.

Built at the end of the 15th century, the church required substantial reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake that affected much of Portugal.

The church combines late Gothic and Manueline architectural elements, with sculptures depicting musicians and women adorning its entrance portal.

The church opens Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 12:30 and 15:00 to 18:30, with additional weekend hours for services and visits.

The church entrance portal draws direct inspiration from the Batalha Monastery, featuring detailed stone carvings and intricate moldings.
