St Vincent's Church, Braga

The Saint Vincent Church (Portuguese: Igreja de São Vicente) is a 16th-century baroque Catholic church in Braga, Portugal,[1] dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa.

[2] It was built in 1565 and restored in 1691, on the same site where there was once a Visigoth church of the 7th century (656).

[2] In the sacristy there is a stone from that old building[1] with the inscription: Here rests Remismuera since the first of May 618, Monday, in peace, Amen.

[citation needed] The façade is completed with the statue of St. Vincent in granite, set in a niche surmounted by the Papal Cross.

[1] The church has a luxurious interior with wood carving work in the altars and azulejos on the walls.
