The facade of the Santo Ildefonso church stands out for its 11,000 tiles designed by Jorge Colaço, the same artist who created the famous tiles of the São Bento train station. These tiles tell a story of cultural and architectural wealth. Even though the baroque masterpieces were poorly restored in 1925, their artistic value is still worth appreciating.

The Church of Santo Ildefonso is located in Praça da Batalha, parish of Santo Ildefonso, in the center of Porto. The church was rebuilt in 1730, as the first church was in ruins, and was completed in 1739, dedicated to Saint Ildefonso de Toledo. The facade consists of two bell towers with notched cornices, surmounted on both sides by spheres and fantasy pediments. Above the entablature is the niche of the patron saint. The walls are decorated with tiles by Jorge Colaço, depicting scenes from the life of Saint Ildefonso and allegories of the Eucharist.
