Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição

The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição in Portimão is a very pretty and elegant church! I recommend stopping by if you’re in town. Inside, the church impresses with its rich historical and artistic details: three naves with columns in between, a high altar featuring a beautiful gilded Baroque retable, and several side chapels with ornate decoration. The glazed tiles (azulejos) along parts of the nave add a striking touch and show the Portuguese tile tradition well.  The church remains an active place of worship, making it a peaceful space for prayer and reflection, especially if you appreciate historical churches with character.

A beautiful historic church in the center of Portimão. Not large, but full of charm and peaceful atmosphere. The interior features traditional Portuguese azulejos and a lovely altar. Worth a short stop while exploring the old town.

Midnight mass on Christmas eve here was amazing. I'm not religious but wanted to enjoy the atmosphere. Stunning church with local congregation..well worth a visit

This is a lovely, traditional, and welcoming Catholic church in Portimão. It offers Mass on Sundays at 8:30 AM, 11:30 AM, and 6:00 PM. It is considered one of the most beautiful churches in the area. Although the Mass is conducted in Portuguese, regular churchgoers find it easy to follow. There are many altar servers, and the choir is quite good. The seating is comfortable; however, the kneelers are made of solid wood and can be quite uncomfortable for kneeling. Locals are fortunate to have such a wonderful church, and it is definitely worth a visit for visitors.

We were on a very long cruise on NCL last year and one of the stops was Portimao. We got off the ship and walked around the old town using google maps. Lots of beautiful buildings and we took lots of pictures including this 15th century catholic church.

We spent here Christmas and two week days. The local priest helds the mass in a beautiful, full of honor way. The choir sings nicely. The church itself is pretty as well. The community seems to be engaged in the igreja’s life. I would say you can pray here and take part in a mass with no worries something will dissapoint you.

It's very beautiful from the outside. I loved it inside too. Decorated with red flowers for Christmas just looked amazing. Little statue of John Paul 2 .

Free entrance. Cute
