Museum of Sacred Art

Religious art from the 16th century in a Gothic church

Address Igreja Matriz de Vila do Conde
Phone 252631424

Housed inside the Igreja Matriz, Vila do Conde's main parish church, this small museum displays religious artefacts from the 16th century onwards. The collection includes goldsmithery, vestments, and painted panels that reflect the town's prosperity during the Age of Discovery, when Vila do Conde was an important shipbuilding centre. The Gothic church itself, with its Manueline flourishes, is worth a look even before you get to the exhibits.
