Porto, Portugal Architecture admirers
Highlights
Enjoy the grandeur of Porto's beloved icon, the Torre dos Clérigos.
This magnificent tower, nestled next to the Baroque masterpiece, Igreja dos Clérigos, is visible from various vantage points across the city, making it a recognizable symbol of Porto.
Commissioned by the Clérigos Brotherhood and fashioned by Nicolau Nasoni—a renowned 18th-century Italian architect whose influence peppered northern Portugal – the church began its creation in 1732 and reached completion around 1750.
By the mid-1750s, the stunning divided stairway at the church's front was completed, perfectly complementing the façade adorned with intricate Baroque details.
