St. Anthony’s Church – A Hidden Baroque Treasure in Lagos
Located in the heart of Lagos, the Church of St. Anthony (Igreja de Santo António) is one of the most beautiful baroque churches in Portugal.
Behind its modest façade lies a dazzling interior covered in gilded woodcarvings, intricate azulejos (tiles), and stunning sacred art. Built in the 18th century, the church is closely tied to the legacy of Prince Henry the Navigator and Portuguese maritime history.
Part of the Lagos Regional Museum, it's a must-see for art lovers, history buffs, and anyone seeking cultural depth.
