🇵🇹 St. Francis Church and Museum in Porto

The Saint Francis Church is one of the most famous religious landmarks in the historic centre of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is renowned for blending a variety of architectural styles, most notably Gothic and Baroque. The museum is located in the adjoining spaces of the former Franciscan convent. It offers a historical perspective on the Franciscan Order and its role in Porto. It features a range of artifacts, from religious sculptures and paintings to more secular items related to the history of the church and convent. One of the most unique features of the museum is access to the catacombs, where the graves of Franciscan friars and other prominent figures are located. It’s a somewhat eerie but fascinating visit. #churches #100waysoftravel #europetrip #europe #porto #portugal #church #europe #tripblazers #unesco #chapel #historic #baroque #gothic
