Para ser una iglesia neoclásica, no está mal. Destaca especialmente su techo pintado que imita una arquitectura más alta. La capilla mayor tiene una buena decoración que combina los estucos con la pintura.
For being a neoclassical church, it's not bad. Especially noteworthy is its painted ceiling that imitates higher architecture. The main chapel has a good decoration that combines stuccos with painting.

Fondata sull'ex convento dei carmelitani scalzi del 1606 questa chiesa dedicata dal santo fu utilizzata come caserma, per passare ai lusitani evangelici nel 1898. Ha uno stile che ricorda quello rinascimentale ma spiccatamente rigido, con un doppio campanile simmetrico sulla facciata principale. Questa sua compostezza esterna svanisce al suo interno dove l'unica navata presente ha un soffitto riccamente affrescato con un trompe l'oeil spettacolare, il quale simula un piano superiore costituito da un colonnato che incornicia la scena divina di santi in paradiso. L'altare dedicato al santo è d'oro e il soffitto sopra l'altare propone ricchi altorilievi con motivi vegetali, trionfi di putti e finti rilievi. Questa meraviglia si trova nel quartiere Cais de Sodré, molto vicina al mercato omonimo dove potete anche andare a rifornirvi di uno spuntino pomeridiano.
Founded on the ex convent of the barefoot Carmelites of 1606, this church dedicated by the saint was used as a barracks, to pass to the Evangelical Lusitanians in 1898. It has a style reminiscent of the Renaissance but distinctly rigid, with a double symmetrical bell tower on the main facade. This external composure vanishes inside where the only nave present has a richly frescoed ceiling with a spectacular trompe l'oeil, which simulates an upper floor consisting of a colonnade that frames the divine scene of saints in paradise. The altar dedicated to the saint is golden and the ceiling above the altar proposes rich high-reliefs with plant motifs, triumphs of cherubs and fake reliefs. This wonder is located in the Cais de Sodré district, very close to the market of the same name where you can also go and stock up on an afternoon snack.

Quiet and nice place. With a beautiful ceiling inside.

A gorgeous church with a unique painted wooden ceiling and a very narrow altar that gives it elegant proportions. A comforting respite in the midst of a tourist filled neighbourhood.
