St. Dominic's Church
Igreja de São Domingos
A pale-yellow baroque church beside Senado Square, founded in 1587. It houses a treasury of sacred objects and is the most photogenic church in the historic center.
St. Dominic's Church was founded in 1587 by Spanish Dominican friars. The current building dates from a 17th-century rebuilding and has a pale yellow exterior, white stucco ornaments, green shutters, and an altar dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. The bell tower behind the church has been converted into a treasury displaying about 300 Catholic works of art. Every year on May 13, the Our Lady of Fátima procession sets off from here. Admission is free. The church is at the north end of Senado Square, about 8 minutes' walk from the Ruins of St. Paul's. Please avoid walking around and taking photos during Mass.
