plano e deixou registrado que o<br />

irmão Francisco Dias tinha sido<br />

O que visitar<br />

Nave. Interiormente,<br />

segundo as normas tridentinas,<br />

a igreja é em nave única, com<br />

capela-mor profun<strong>da</strong>, duas<br />

capelas colaterais, mais duas<br />

capelas no transepto e capelas<br />

laterais. Os altares dessas<br />

capelas não têm uniformi<strong>da</strong>de<br />

estilística, porque foram feitos<br />

em épocas diferentes,<br />

dependendo dos patrocínios.<br />

Ca<strong>da</strong> um, em particular, foi<br />

alvo de intervenções<br />

restauradoras ou modificadoras<br />

em tempos diferentes. Não é<br />

possível precisar as <strong>da</strong>tas de<br />

sua execução, a não ser<br />

genericamente: <strong>da</strong>tam dos fins<br />

Visitor priest Father Cristóvão de<br />

Gouveia, however, claimed to<br />

have interfered with its<br />

Brother Francisco Dias had<br />

been the architect.<br />

What to visit<br />

Nave. Inside, according to<br />

Tridentine rules, the church<br />

features a single nave, with a<br />

deep main chapel, two<br />

collateral chapels plus two<br />

chapels at the transept, as<br />

well as lateral chapels. These<br />

chapels’ altars have no<br />

stylistic uniformity, as they<br />

were made at different times,<br />

depending on sponsorships.<br />

Each one of them went<br />

through restorations or<br />

modifications at different<br />

times. It is not possible to<br />

establish the precise <strong>da</strong>tes of<br />

their execution: all we know<br />

is that they <strong>da</strong>te from the late<br />

17 th to the 18 th centuries,<br />

considering that they were<br />

made or a<strong>da</strong>pted after the<br />

architectural structure had<br />

been completed. The only<br />

altars with any stylistic and<br />

ornamental uniformity are<br />

those of Saint Ursula, Saint<br />
