Teave
Kiired faktid: Kiriku vapustavad 17. sajandi atsulehho-plaadid jäid ellu laastavas 1755. aasta maavärinas, mis hävitas suure osa Algarvest. Selle kaksikud kellatornid ja lubjatud fassaad said inspiratsiooni Brasiilia koloniaalbarokk-kirikutest, peegeldades Olhão sügavaid merenduslikke sidemeid.
Esiletõstmised: Astu sisse ja näed seinu, mis on peaaegu täielikult kaetud 75 ruutmeetri ulatuses siniste ja valgete atsulehho-plaatidega, mis kujutavad piiblistseene, moodustades ühe Algarve täielikuma plaadikollektsiooni. Kuldne altariretaabl sädeleb keeruka 18. sajandi puunikerdusega, luues dramaatilise kontrasti jahedate siniste plaatidega, mis seda ümbritsevad.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
