What to expect
São Pedro is a parish church whose present appearance reflects substantial rebuilding after the 1755 earthquake. Look at the late-sixteenth-century entrance and its figure of the patron saint before stepping into the more restrained interior.
It fits naturally into a walk through the everyday centre of Faro, away from the cathedral square. Combine it with the Carmo area if you want to compare two different church fronts, allowing worship and local parish activity to set the rhythm of an interior visit.
