Igreja Matriz (Parish Church Nossa Senhora da Conceição)
Featuring a single nave and four side chapels, Igreja Matriz (Parish Church Nossa Senhora da Conceição) was constructed in 1782, after an earthquake destroyed an older building in its place. Its simple white interior includes an altarpiece boasting a painting by Algarvean artist Samora Barros--the image provides the background for an 18th-century statue of the Virgin.

The Church was closed a lot but when we did get to see it open it was a lovely church. The opening times on the website didn't seem to be applicable!

Love Church. Unfortunately no masses in English.

Main Church of Portimão Portimão Built at the end of the 15th century in the Gothic style, this church underwent major remodelling after the 1755 earthquake. The façade has a medieval portal similar to the Batalha Monastery and a pediment decorated with mass work characteristic of the late 18th century. Inside, three naves separated by columns with Tuscan capitals, a triple headboard and four side chapels. As far as the church's ornamentation is concerned, the altarpieces of the chancel and of the Capela do Santíssimo Sacramento deserve special mention, as well as the images of Nossa Senhora das Almas do Purgatório, São Pedro and São Gonçalo de Lagos that, like the altarpieces, date from the second half of the 18th century.

It's lovely, coloured brilliant white, on a bright day like it was, it seemed to shine like the sun! Its nestled away in the back streets of town - it felt to me like the embodiment of everything that is spiritual of Portugal and its people.

My friend was married in this beautiful church. Even on a hot day it wasn't too bad inside. It is not hard to get to and from any of the hotels on the beach.
