What to expect
The building is associated with a project by Francisco Keil do Amaral and is recognised in Loulé’s municipal heritage inventory. Its contemporary religious architecture offers a different experience from the Baroque churches and medieval chapels found in the Algarve’s older towns.
For travellers staying in Vilamoura, it is a useful local worship site to identify before following a programme published for the wider Quarteira parish. The church is distinct from the two churches in Quarteira itself, so confirm the named building when arranging to attend a service.
