Igreja de São Francisco (Évora)

The Church of St. Francis (Portuguese: Igreja de São Francisco) is located in Évora, Portugal.

The church shows majestic proportions : 36 x 34 x 24 m. The single, groin-vaulted nave gives a wide impression, accentuated by the white mortar on the walls and the columns.

The father of Portuguese drama Gil Vicente is buried at the left side of the entrance.

The chancel (early 16th century) with the main altar (from a later date) displays Renaissance features.

The altars in the transept are decorated with gilded sculpturework (talha dourada) framing 16th century panels, probably painted by Flemish artists.
