What to expect
The church has stood in central Alvor since the seventeenth century. Its modest scale makes the details particularly rewarding: a side-wall pulpit, restrained altar and stained glass connected with Saint Isabel give it a distinct character from the village’s larger Matriz.
Its Rua 25 de Abril location fits neatly into an old-village stroll. Allow a little time to step away from the restaurant streets and look at the church itself; the main parish church lies elsewhere in the older centre, so the two are not interchangeable map pins.
