About
The church was founded by Franciscan friars in the fourteenth century, but its interior was later covered with carved and gilded woodwork, including a famous Tree of Jesse. The catacombs beneath hold the tombs of friars and wealthy families, and the adjoining museum displays religious art.
Best time to go: Combine it with the Palácio da Bolsa next door and the Ribeira quays below.
