Pause at the Church of Saint Ildefonso, an 18th-century church clad in blue and white tiles. Look over the facade from the square, then step inside to see the interior and its small museum.

📖

Full description

The Church of Saint Ildefonso was completed in 1739 in an early baroque style, and its facade is covered with blue and white azulejo tiles added in the 1930s. It sits on a lively square lined with small shops near Batalha Square, so it fits easily into a walk through the centre.

Entry costs about a euro, and reviewers say it is worth paying to see the interior and the museum exhibitions spread over several floors. A visit takes about fifteen minutes, and the opening hours are limited on some days.
