In Leiria
The Church of São Francisco is a remarkable construction from the 16th century, located on Av. Dom João III 1 loja 1, 2400-164 Leiria, in the municipality of Leiria. It dates back to 1562, initially located at the place currently known as the Jardim Luís de Camões, having been subsequently authorized to move by King D. João I due to the periodic flooding of the area by the River Lis. The complex gathers numerous works of great beauty and originality, highlighting its Gothic mural paintings covering the whole nave, considered uniquely prodigious not only for their recognized quality but also for their unparalleled dimension throughout the country. In the center of the city and with a splendid view to the adorable landscapes of the region, the Church of São Francisco is accessible by car. Don't miss the opportunity to visit this wonderful cultural treasure!
