The Church of S\u00e3o Francisco (Igreja de S\u00e3o Francisco) is one of the most surprising churches in Porto, in the north of Portugal. It stands near the Douro River, close to the Ribeira district. The church was built by Franciscan monks in the 14th and 15th centuries in the Gothic style, and from the outside it looks quite simple. But inside, almost every surface is covered with carved wood painted with gold. This rich decoration was added mainly in the 17th and 18th centuries, in the Baroque style. Today the church is no longer used for regular services and is open to visitors as a monument and museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qu\u00e9 ver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

El interior dorado es lo m\u00e1s destacado. Las paredes, columnas, altares y techos est\u00e1n recubiertos de madera tallada y dorada en la que se representan \u00e1ngeles, flores, hojas y figuras. Una de las obras m\u00e1s famosas es el \u00c1rbol de Jes\u00e9, un gran retablo tallado que muestra el \u00e1rbol geneal\u00f3gico de Jes\u00fas. Debajo de la iglesia se encuentran las catacumbas, donde eran enterrados los monjes y las familias adineradas. Aqu\u00ed se pueden ver tumbas antiguas y un osario, una sala donde se conservan los huesos humanos. Al otro lado de la calle, el centro de visitantes cuenta con un peque\u00f1o museo con arte religioso y mobiliario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00f3mo llegar e informaci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The church is on Rua do Infante Dom Henrique, near the Ribeira waterfront and the Stock Exchange Palace (Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa). It is easy to reach on foot from the centre of Porto. There is an entrance fee, which includes the church, the catacombs and the museum. Taking photos inside the church is usually not allowed. Allow about one hour for the visit. It is easy to combine with a walk along the Ribeira riverside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
