Tips from locals
Church of St. Anthony (Igreja de Santo Antonio) The GOLDEN church ! This amazing church, attached to Lagos’ main Museum, is certainly one of Lagos’ highlights. Its extravagant Baroque decoration is considered to be the most beautiful in Portugal. Ornate, golden painted wood carvings fill the walls, along with beautiful azulejo tiles (blue and white). The church also features 6 paintings which represent the miracles of Saint Anthony (Santo António). At the altar, upon the throne, is on the patron Saint Anthony with the Child Jesus in the arm, flanked by two angels who hold torches.
