What to expect
The sixteenth-century parish church is dedicated to the Divino Salvador. Its carved doorway is the first feature to look for, while the interior has three naves and a collection of altars and religious sculpture shaped by the village’s long history.
Reach it by walking uphill through Alvor’s older streets, allowing time to enjoy the village around it rather than making the church an isolated stop. The separate Misericórdia church is a different building in central Alvor and can be combined in the same outing.
