Igreja de São Francisco

Igreja de São Francisco
Next to Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace), the present church is what remains of an ancient monastery.

Its dazzling interior of gilded wood-work in pure Baroque style amazes visitors by its splendour.

A tour includes the catacombs, a singular place where the black tombs, identified by slabs where you can read the names of the families and personages buried here, contrast with the ghostly white of the walls.
