2 reviews of St. Paul's Church

San Pablo Church

St. Paul's Church is in the plaza of the same name, near the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Torre (part of the Museo Pio XII). Built in the sixteenth century by Archbishop Frei Bartolomeu dos Martires, for the Society of Jesus as part of the Seminary of Santiago and designed by André Soares. It has a fairly smooth and sober facade with a triangular pediment in which a circular window opens and a single access door, framed by columns on the sides and a pediment at the top. The inconspicuous facade belies a surprising interior that has the city's best set of baroque art (made during the reigns of Pedro II and João V).

It has a single nave, choir loft and is very spacious. The entire perimeter is lined with many gold carved altarpieces, the Mayor is byTomé de Araújo. Also noteworthy are the sculptures of the four Evangelists (by António Pinto de Araújo) and the XVIII tiles of the Mayor Altar.
