The Church of Lapa is undoubtedly a majestic temple. Its interior is enhanced by the generosity of the city's bourgeoisie, which still has one of its most important places of worship there today. It is located in the historic center of Porto, offering an impressive view of the city. The Brotherhood of Lapa is responsible for maintaining its rich heritage. One of the notable remembrances of this church is its precious pipe organ, considered one of the most beautiful on the Iberian Peninsula. In addition, the place also has a second distinctive mark: the noble relic that is inside. This is the heart of Emperor D. Pedro IV - also known as D. Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil - donated to the city of Porto as a reminder of his participation in the struggle for freedom during the nineteenth century. That is why the Church of Lapa is visited consecutively by Brazilians who travel to Porto, with the intention of paying a deserved tribute to the Father Founder of the Republic. In addition, on a visit to Porto you cannot fail to hear the extraordinary music played by its internal organ during the concerts and Masses on Sundays. The Church of Lapa is undoubtedly one of the most interesting places in the city of Porto, accessible by car and located at Largo da Lapa No. 1, 4050-069 Porto. Come and discover the hidden treasures of this iconicity and prepare to live an unforgettable experience!
