Graça Church

A nice piece of architecture that you can walk past. It was not possible to get close to the building when I visited but it can be appreciated from afar.

Very beautiful church! Yet I was able to see only the exterior design. Went to Evora to visit on Sunday and unfortunately this church was closed that day.

The Igreja da Graça in Évora is truly unique for its striking and highly influential Mannerist facade, considered one of the earliest and most significant examples of this architectural style in Portugal. Its most distinctive elements are the four large, robust "Atlantes" or "Giants" supporting the upper corners of the main facade, giving the church a monumental and slightly idiosyncratic appearance that sets it apart from other churches of its time. This architectural boldness and decorative originality reflect the new artistic currents of the 16th century. Furthermore, its connection to the Augustinian order and its history as a former convent add another layer to its historical significance. The blend of classical elements with an inventive, almost playful, approach to scale and form makes the Igreja da Graça an unforgettable and crucial landmark in the study of Portuguese Renaissance and Mannerist architecture

We only saw the exterior of this church. It is actually very pretty albeit a bit abandoned. The church was closed. Apparently the keys lies with some volunteers who only show up when they feel like it.

Very interesting external facade with unique statues and bell tower. Although the interior is very bland.

We only saw the outside, but it is very picturesque and worth seeing, it is easy to overlook with all of the other sights in Evora.

A beautiful old church close to the Bones Chapel!

Excellent
