Overview

Seen from the appropriately named Rua de Sao Lorenco, the St. Lawrence's Church cuts an imposing figure. The double-towered, cream-colored building gazes down through an ornamental gate and positively welcomes you inside. But for us mere mortals, it is necessary to walk round to the back and enter through the side entrance. Inside the red-carpeted altar, cream walls and blue ceiling make for a breathtaking effect, and the beautiful stained glass windows and statues invite you to sit and absorb this visual feast at leisure.
