Hiking
The three-aisled Gothic church was built on the orders of King Manuel I of Portugal, who visited Vila do Conde on his pilgrimage to Santiago in 1502. In addition to its Gothic design, it also has Manueline and Plateresque style elements, such as the portal by João de Castilho, as well as traces of the Baroque. The tower, built in 1573, was designed by João Lopes.

Hiking
The coastal path separates from the inland path at this church if you have first made a pilgrimage along the coast from Porto.
