Church and Chapel superior
Breathtaking interior 
Such beautiful ornate veneer 
Really quite spectacular 
A glistening golden lustre 
Then lunch at a Churrasqueira 
A high terrace exterior 
Parasols make for shady barrier 

Love you so much

Igreja de Santo António 
Museum Municipal Dr. José Formosinho. Filled with azulejo tiles, ancient artifacts, paintings and displays connected to local history
Local workers
St Anthony
Painted wooden panels
First sight of the interior of the Chapel takes your breath away
The church interior is almost entirely covered in intricately carved gold-plated woodwork.
Everywhere is shimmering gold
The altar has a statue of St Anthony holding The Child Jesus
Beautiful painted ceiling
Gilded panelwork
Recessed statues
Awesome carvings
So much detail
Awe-inspiring
Prettily painted kiosk
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Not a bad deal for 8€
Porta de Piedade
We had the terrace to ourselves
So quiet above the hustle and bustle
A quirky, colourful building
Gary and I
Rum Raisin, hazelnut and Grandma’s cake (?) ice cream 😋
