Along the riverbank, the Baroque styling of Igreja da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco draws visitors with its gold, marble, and wood interior. This monument dates to the 14th century, when its construction was initiated by King Ferdinand. The church features decoration from as late as the 18th century, including pillars and columns with cherubs, plants, and animals adorning the surfaces. The amount of gold inside the church is said to total 400 kg (880 lbs). See the catacombs below the church, which house a museum with monastery artifacts.

Jolie église. Si vous souhaitez la visiter, ainsi que les catacombes, ce sera 6€. Je comprends que ce puisse être payant pour rénover ce patrimoine qui en a tant besoin. more »

Pretty Church. If you want to visit it, as well as the catacombs, it will be €6. I understand that it may be paid to renovate this heritage which so many need.

Catacombs are interesting, Unable to get into church without paying to get in. Claimed it is a museum, so they can charge! Able to visit the newer part of the church above the catacombs. more »

Amerà l'interno di questa chiesa opulenta, ricca di decorazioni, intarsi dorati. Sicuramente l'edificio religioso di Porto che più mi ha stupito. Costa 6 Euro, ma sono ben spesi more »
