Igreja dos Clérigos
The finest baroque structure in Vila Real, this fan-shaped building with a facade dominated by two pairs of heavy columns totally outshines the city's austere Gothic cathedral, round the corner. Built in the 18th century and dedicated to Saint Peter, and also known as the Capela Nova (New Chapel) it's believed by some to have been designed by Nicolau Nasoni, architect of Porto's church of the same name, with its iconic tower. It is open for mass at 9:30 am Tuesday through Saturday.
