Clérigos Tower
Monuments
This baroque work by Nicolau Nasoni was built in the first half of the eighteenth century. The Clérigos Tower is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city of Porto.
The panoramic view over the city and the river Douro which can be seen from the top of the tower makes the 240 step climb worth the effort.
Capitalising on the recent work to renovate and reconvert one of the most significant buildings in the city of Porto, based on a project which rapidly resolved the restrictions on accessing the complex, a multi-sensory facility has been created which simulates the experience of climbing up the Torre dos Clérigos. In the building of the Torre dos Clérigos, you’ll find a part of the Brotherhood’s holdings and the Christus Collection, taking you back to a time and space where art and religion complemented each other.
