It's the biggest and considered the main church of Vila do Conde. Its construction started at the end of the XV century (1496-1497) and ended in the begging of the XVI century (1514-1515). It's a National Monument since 1910 because of the importance of the building regarded as a late gothic and Manueline style church and its tower as a Renaissance addition. The stained-glass coloured windows date from 1909 and were made at Paris, it is an impressive and beautiful church.

We could not go into the convent because they were doing construction on the property and the gates were locked. But, you can walk around this beauty and see it as you walk along the waterfront. It is a marvel of architecture and will be around for many years to come.
