History: The church was built in the 18th century after an earthquake destroyed the earlier church. It was completed between 1782 and 1800.
Architecture: The Igreja Matriz de Albufeira is designed in the neoclassical style, with a simple but elegant white exterior and an imposing bell tower.
Interior: The interior of the church is equally simple, but contains some notable religious artwork, including altars and statues. Of particular note is the statue of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, the patron saint of Albufeira.
Location: The church is located in the historic center of Albufeira and is a major focal point for both locals and tourists.
Significance: As the city's main church, it plays a central role in the community's religious life and is the setting for many religious festivals and events.

The Igreja Matriz de Albufeira is an important part of the city's cultural and historical heritage, and a significant example of the region's religious architecture.

The parish church of Albufeira, built at the end of the 18th century, is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

The single-nave interior houses a valuable 18th-century image of the Virgin Mary and a painted altarpiece created in the 20th century by the local artist Samora Barros.

This church houses the 15th-century image of Nossa Senhora da Orada, which is venerated by fishermen and returned annually in procession to the pilgrimage chapel of the same name. visitportugal.com/de/NR/exeres/4FA22619-CFA2-403A-B1D3-46475C80DB63
