Capela das Almas in Porto is famous for its blue-and-white azulejos depicting stories from the lives of St. Catherine of Alexandria and St. Francis of Assisi. A closer look at these remarkable panels reveals scenes of faith, miracles, martyrdom, and centuries-old Christian artistic traditions.
The 14th-century Gothic cloister of Porto Cathedral surrounds a symmetrical courtyard with elegant stone arcades and striking Baroque azulejo panels. Its lower galleries provide access to Nicolau Nasoni’s richly decorated Sacristy and the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, while the upper terraces offer a different perspective of this historic cathedral complex.
