Building of Gothic origin whose interior was covered with golden gild in the first half of the eighteenth century. This real Baroque jewel impresses by its decorative exuberance.

This is a marvelous hidden gem in Porto. If you appreciate churches, you can't miss this one. The outside is so humble you will be surprised...

Monastery/Church of Santa Clara > ONE OF THE MAIN GOLD-LINED CHURCHES OF PORTO, WITH A SPECTACULAR EFFECT WITH EXTRAORDINARY HARMONY. Built next to the most visible section of the Fernandine Walls, the Church of Santa Clara was completed in 1457, as well as the monastery with which it was set. This was due to a request from the Franciscan Clarissa nuns who wanted to replace the previous monastery, from the very large 13th century. With the suppression of several smaller monasteries in the various localities between the 15th and 16th centuries, the nuns were aggregating in Santa Clara taking their rents there, one of them being a toll for all the goods that passed through the Douro River. At the end of the 19th century, with the death of the last nun, the monastery was extinguished. Subsequently, state heritage, made the necessary works and was adapted to an Health Center and other institutions. The entrance to the church is made through a Baroque door, dating from 1697 and reformulated in the 18th century, with Renaissance elements such as Solomonic columns and Corinthian capitals. Inside we can glimpse all the magnificence of this church, all covered by gold carving from the first half of the 18th century.
