Igreja de S. Paulo-Braga

The church was built by the Jesuits for their College, in the time of the Archbishop Bartholomew of Braga, with a pure simple facade which is in contrast to its luxurious baroque interior with a magnificent wood carving work in the altars.[1] It is currently integrated with the Seminar of Saint Peter and Saint Paul and with the Pius XII Museum.
