St. Dominic's Church

Looking decidedly European with its cream walls and green shutters, St. Dominic's Church stands at the northern end of the Largo do Senado. Inside, this 17th-century baroque place of worship is light and airy, with a magnificent altar featuring the Virgin Mary and Child. Decorative confession boxes line the walls, whilst nooks and crannies invite you to light a candle, and worn wooden pews tempt you to put your feet up and indulge in some inner contemplation.
