Architecture and History Construction of the church began in the last years of the 15th century, by order of King Manuel I. The architectural design combines elements of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, in addition to the predominant Manueline style, especially evident in its magnificently sculpted main portal. The interior has beautiful stained glass windows and altars with gilded carvings, which are worth a detailed visit. The church is located on top of a hill where the original Monastery of Santa Clara and the old parish church were situated.

The Church of St. John the Baptist of Vila do Conde, also known as the Parish Church of Vila do Conde, is one of the city's most important monuments and one of the most significant examples of the Manueline style (late Portuguese Gothic) in the country. It was classified as a National Monument in 1910.

Excellent trail, very good for cycling, quite long. In the heat, there are several shady spots for resting.

A highlight that should not be missed on any visit to the region!

Very interesting. In our time this bridge was rebuilt and you had to walk on rickety and rusty footbridges on the right. 🫣
