Full description

The Chapel of Souls, also called the Chapel of Saint Catherine, is known for the blue and white azulejo tiles that cover its outer walls and illustrate episodes from the lives of saints. Most visitors come for the facade, which is easy to appreciate in a quick stop of around fifteen minutes, though the interior is also open at set hours.

It sits on a busy city street in the centre of Porto, and reviewers describe it as a charming, serene historical landmark and one of the most photographed tile facades in the city.
