Igreja da St Ildefonso, Porto

Strikingly colorful exterior

This colorful Baroque parish church is quite an attention-getter! 11,000 azulejo tiles depict scenes from the life of Saint Ildefonso and figurative imagery from the gospels.

The structure dates from the 18th century and was built on the site of a 13th-century chapel.

Nicolau Nasoni, the Italian starchitect who designed the Clerigos Tower, designed the retable.
