This church was first mentioned in historical documents dating back to the 16th century, but it was enlarged in 1777, so this is not its original look. Some interior details here.
Thanks for catching that fellow entering the building; gives an idea of the scale! Quite large. Your interior photos are fine, too. What's with the "no photo" rule?
A beautiful church both inside and out. There is a lot of history here. Don't you sometimes wish the walls could talk and relate stories from the past?
what a wonderful architectural building. it is hard to believe it dates from the 16th century. I also like your new banner photo. it surprised me when i opened it earlier this week and you rearranged a few things. keeps us alert.

What a fine church. And I loved going back to look at the interiors. Thank you for including the link.
Je suis d'accord avec B.Squared, belle nouvelle bannière.

It's a beautiful church, for sure!
It looks quite grand. The interior is beautiful and I wonder why photography is prohibited.
There's that gorgeous blue sky again! This is a lovely church.

NIce old church , i like the little boy on the steps :)
The church is beautiful. I'm generally not very keen on Baroque, but this one is nice.

I have to use exposure compensation to get anywhere near this kind of sky in daylight shots. Well done.
Beautiful !
What a lovely old church. I keep expecting the Father to walk round the corner any minute - his soutane flapping.
The deep blue of the sky make this a marvelous photo.

I didn't realize just how big it is until I noticed the guy about to enter. It's beautiful and very striking against that deep blue sky.
Beautiful old church !! This is lovely..Unseen Rajasthan
In Oeiras, history is obviously still present.
Only 300 years old and not 500? Its an awesome monument to time, the inside is very nice.
Excellent!!! We, in the US, have nothing to show from the 16th century. thanks you for sharing.
Happy anniversay too. MB
