A showcase of the late Gothic Portuguese architecture. It is the sumptuous composite Portuguese style of architectural ornamentation of the first decades of the 16th century, incorporating maritime elements that was probably introduced by the Portuguese voyagers. This is what it means by the Manueline art. and architecture.

The interior of the church displayed the beautiful ornamentation too.

This church is much older than the typical churches in the area and is large for a small village. It is worth the diversion off the N206. It has a car park but is very popular for weddings, so can be busy.

A great facility. Good location, lovely pool, really well laid out and perfect for the beginner. The staff are really attentive, very experienced (I've been in the dive profession for nearly 20 years so know) and a wealth of knowledge to draw upon.

10. Santa Clara Convent

Reviewed By backpacker31 - Boynton Beach, Florida
Occupying a prominent hilltop position along the Rio Ave, the convent/mosterio is likely the first major building you will see upon entering Vila do Conde. The monastery dates back to 1777 and possesses an impressive Gothic/neoclassical architectural style. High walls surround much of the building as well as the impressive Santa Clara Aqueduct (Portugal's second largest). I did not enter the convent (I'm unsure if one is really allowed to enter), but the exterior and the grounds are worth viewing. From its hilltop position sizeable Terrace there are commanding views overlooking Vila do Conde.
