Church of the former Monastery of Jesus

A place really worth to visit despite the long queue and waiting time.

An outstanding collection of medieval and renaissance art in the heart of a busy port town. This is a very modern approach on museum curation, with plenty of multilingual texts to read and plenty of information to absorb. The highlight has to be the wonderful polyptych heavily influenced by the Flemish painters of the northern renaissance. Equally impressive is the church right next to the museum. A beautiful mix of styles and a set of columns that somehow find its way into Gaudi’s designs.

A fascinating church and upper choirs! For visiting the upper choirs you need to go into the museum; the church has an entrance from the side of the building and seems to be open at different times than the museum. I recommend to read a small booklet which is available on the upper choirs entrance to understand this gem better. I also found a mummy thanks to this booklet. Soon the museum will be fully open, right now the part of it is under renovation. But the museum and the church are worth visit anyway and now it is free of charge. Also nice people work there. Thank you for preserving this place!

Great place to visit. Have been restaured recently, they are still hading some tiles.

I have lived in Setubal for six years but only just visited the recently renovated and newly-curated exhibition... and it is amazing. Highly recommend the upstairs choir and gallery spaces, they are fantastic ...

3 Euros to get in and freely walk around. Inside it's very nice and still some remodeling going on. But that shouldn't affect your experience.

Very beautiful and rich museum that leads you through the history of Setúbal with the help of archaeological finds, architecture and art. Very friendly staff and great place to visit.

This is a beautiful Midevil Church. Currently being renovated Re open Sept 15 2024
