It is a wide church and its final appearance resulted from successive transformations in a temple built in the 16th century and was part of a monastic complex. It was rebuilt in 1745, under the guidance of Nicolau Nasoni, chosen by the canons’ corporation of the Porto Cathedral to remodel the building.

It presents six altars, standing out the one with the Crucified Lord, with pre-renaissance style to which is connected the tradition of the so-called miracle of 1420, telling that after going out in procession and wondering through the streets, the plague desolating the parish finally ceased. Example of baroque architecture, keeps an important artistic collection, namely saints, oil paintings, baroque carving and nineteenth century tiles panels. It is classified as Public Interest Building.
