Igreja de Santiago (Coimbra)

First construction began before 957, as evidenced by a document donated to Lorraine Monastery.

The elegant south portal probably dates to the late 12th century, and consists of several unpainted archivolts, surrounded by a vine-shaped frame, and capitals and columns with plant motifs.

In the 15th century, a quadrangular chapel was added to the north side of the church, with a Gothic-style portal and a decorated chambranle.

An important mutilation of the church occurred in 1861, when the current Visconde da Luz street was widened.
