By the mid-1750s, the church's beautiful divided stairway was finished, enhancing its Baroque façade with intricate details.For an unforgettable view of Porto, climb the Bell Tower for a panoramic perspective of the city, then visit the Clerigos Building’s exhibition hall to explore the Irmandade dos Clérigos and Christus Collections.
