Visited the Igreja de Santa Clara two days ago. Had a little troube locating it as it is tucked back from the road. Upon entering the church I was caught off guard by it's beauty.

to get inside (if the door is closed) you need to turn the handle. I was there with no one else but one local praying old lady - that gave the church even more charm.
