Summary edit

Description

Edificada em 1707, foi reconstruída em 1769. A decoração em talha dourada, barroca, é considerada das mais belas do país. As paredes são revestidas por painéis de azulejos em azul e branco, do século XVIII.

A igreja em toda a sua extensão é coberta por uma abóbada em madeira, imitando uma abóbada de berço. A pintura desta, pelo seu colorido e justeza do desenho é uma maravilha. A perspectiva tão rigorosa dá-nos a impressão de realidade que encanta.

No altar, sobre o trono, está colocado o padroeiro Santo António com o Menino de Jesus no braço, ladeado por dois anjos que sustentam tocheiros. De realçar, igualmente, uma imagem rara de Santo Elói, patrono dos ourives. <a href="http://www.visitportugal.com/NR/exeres/EEFFB2D2-D949-4A8F-98A5-AFD2CE2CF6DA,frameless.htm" rel="nofollow">www.visitportugal.com/NR/exeres/EEFFB2D2-D949-4A8F-98A5-A...</a>

Church of Santo António - Lagos Originally constructed in 1707, the church was rebuilt in 1769. The baroque gilded woodwork decoration is considered to be some of the finest in Portugal. The walls are covered in 18th century blue and white azulejo panels.

The entire church is crowned by a wooden vaulted ceiling, imitating a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The ceiling is covered by wonderfully coloured and intricately drawn printings. The rigorous sense of perspective gives us an enchanting impression of reality.


A statue of the patron saint, S. António holding Baby Jesus in his arm and flanked by two angels carrying torches, is located on the throne within the altar. The church also houses a rare statue of S. Elói - the patron saint of goldsmiths. <a href="http://www.visitportugal.com/NR/exeres/EEFFB2D2-D949-4A8F-98A5-AFD2CE2CF6DA,frameless.htm" rel="nofollow">www.visitportugal.com/NR/exeres/EEFFB2D2-D949-4A8F-98A5-A...</a>
