• The S. Francisco Church

Igreja de Sao Francisco is a beautiful and unique 14th century Gothic church located next to the Palácio da Bolsa in the historical centre of Porto. The church is known for its highly rich Baroque interior decor with magnificent wood carving elements, beautiful chapels, pillars, vaulted ceilings, and walls coated with gold leaves. An important 18th century artwork in the church is the wood carved Tree of Jesse, tracing Christ’s genealogy with 12 kings of Judah connected to Jesse through the tree branches.
