The church is situated in the center of town and a pretty big tourist hotspot. We went on a fairly rainy day so it wasn't too busy. It was designed by an Italian architect, Nicolau Nisoni, who is known for several buildings in Portugal. Built in 1732 and finished in 1750, the tower has 240 steps that these tourists paid 3€ to climb. Along the way, there were some interesting timelines and details into the life of Nisoni, as well as the Beotherhood, for whom the church and tower were built. at the top, you can see pretty amazing views of the entire city.

I really like this graphic for the church.
