The Church and “ Torre dos Clérigos “ (18th century) is a remarkable architectural complex located in the city of Porto and is considered the postcard of the city. Designed by architect Nicolau Nasoni, this set is one of the most notable examples of the late-Baroque style in Portuguese territory and has been classified as a National Monument since 1910. It is considered Nasoni's most emblematic work, incorporating, in granite ornamentation, "a dynamic morphology along with lines of vernacular continuity, if not epimaneirista". The most striking architectural elements of the set are characterized by the irregularity and exaggeration of the forms, which give rise to a surprising scenic effect. It is noteworthy the irregular plants, the wavy facades, highlighted by a counterposition of protrusions, balconies and recesses, interrupted arches, and a great profusion of various windows, complemented by the lush bell tower. Nasoni was buried in this church, in which he dedicated a lot of time and dedication, having been revealed, in the extensive rehabilitation carried out recently, a crypt where his grave can be found.
