This is one of the few churches in the Algarve that survived the 1755 earthquake. It still maintains part of the original structure built in the 16th century. The façade and retable are in the Mannerist style. The baptismal font and side portal are in a ornamented Manueline style.On the walls, four stone rosettes symbolise the heavenly bodies-the sun, moon and stars. - See more at: www.tavira-today.com/Tavira_Churches.html#sthash.lcFJx4w1...
