Saint Michael's Chapel

The current chapel was begun in 1517, replacing a smaller private oratory that had existed on the site since the 12th century. The initial design was created by Marcos Pires, and after his death, the construction was completed by Diogo de Castilho. The chapel features a blend of Manueline and Baroque architectural styles, reflecting the unique characteristics of Portuguese sacred architecture. It is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel. ※ Included in the Combined Ticket: University + Science Museum.

Beautiful chapel, intricately decorated with tiles. The space is bigger than most chapels one would come across. The uniqueness of this place is the color of the tiles, they aren't the solely the usual blue azulejos that you come across all of Iberia and the ceiling is wonderful. One can't buy tickets only to the chapel. It's a combo with the university and the royal rooms or a higher combo that includes timed entrance to the library next door. The combo can be used across a couple of days.

As with most places in Portugal, this location takes your breath away. It's awe-inspiring to think about when it was built and how it has been maintained in such beautiful condition.

The Chapel of São Miguel (Capela de São Miguel) in Coimbra is a highly unique and historically significant part of the University of Coimbra's Paço das Escolas, serving as a prime example of Portuguese sacred art. Its most striking feature is the extraordinary, intricately carved 18th-century Baroque organ, considered one of the finest in Portugal, with its elaborate gilded decoration and powerful sound. The chapel's walls are completely covered with magnificent 17th-century azulejo tiles, depicting scenes from the Bible and creating a visually stunning, immersive atmosphere. Beyond these, its rich Mannerist and Baroque painted ceiling adds another layer of artistic grandeur. Despite its relatively modest size, the Chapel of São Miguel uniquely combines profound artistic richness with a long-standing role as the spiritual and ceremonial heart of one of the world's oldest universities.

This chapel is very beautiful and bright, and there's a nice oversized organ to the right of the chapel.

Amazing place! The building was built in the end of XV century and has an organ that was built in 1733 with barroc style and more than 2000 tubes. The place is really beautiful and the ticket is sold by 10 Euros and includes Biblioteca Joanina, Paço Real and the museum of science.
