What to expect
The church was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755 and remains central to Guia’s religious life. Its understated architecture makes a useful contrast with the more decorative churches encountered in larger historic towns.
Guia is a separate inland village within Albufeira municipality. Include the church when exploring its streets and food stops, rather than assuming it is within walking distance of Albufeira’s old-town beach; the village has other small chapels that can be visited on the same outing.
Planning your visit
- Guia is a separate village from Albufeira town.
