O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Zapanjujući pločice azulejo iz 17. stoljeća u ovoj crkvi preživjele su razorni potres 1755. godine koji je sravnio veći dio Algarvea. Njeni blizanci zvonici i bijela fasada inspirirani su kolonijalnim baroknim crkvama Brazila, odražavajući duboke pomorske veze Olhãa.

Istaknuto: Uđite unutra i zidovi su gotovo u potpunosti prekriveni sa 75 kvadratnih metara plavih i bijelih pločica azulejo koje prikazuju biblijske scene, čineći jednu od najpotpunijih kolekcija pločica u Algarveu. Zlatni oltarni retabl blista s finom rezbarijom iz 18. stoljeća, stvarajući dramatičan kontrast u odnosu na hladne plave pločice koje ga okružuju.

Insajderski savjeti

  • Bring a pair of binoculars or a zoom lens to study the upper azulejo panels that depict scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary.
  • Visit right after the fishermen return in the morning to combine your trip with the nearby municipal market for the freshest seafood.
  • Step outside and look up at the bell towers from the far side of the square to capture the full symmetry of the Brazilian-inspired facade in one frame.
  • Attend the evening mass on a Saturday to hear the choir sing in the church's exceptional acoustics, an experience most tourists miss.
