It is with great joy and gratitude that we welcome all of you to this special place, which is an essential part of our historical and cultural heritage. As president of the Clérigos Brotherhood, it is an honour to welcome all those who come to admire and appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable architectural ensemble.

The Clérigos Church and Tower, designed by the renowned architect Nicolau Nasoni, are more than just historic buildings; they are symbols of our rich cultural and spiritual heritage. These exuberant baroque structures represent a time of creativity and devotion, and we are committed to preserving and sharing this heritage with the world.

What’s more, when you visit the church, you’ll have the chance to pay homage to Nicolau Nasoni, the dedicated architect who left a lasting legacy with this masterpiece.

Our Brotherhood is committed to keeping the history and tradition of this place alive. We appreciate the support of all visitors, as it helps us to continue preserving and caring for this national monument.

I hope your visit is full of inspiration and that you leave here with a deeper connection to Portugal’s history and culture. Thank you again for choosing to explore the Clérigos Church and Tower and enjoy this piece of our history.
