Built in the 15th century, the parish church of Portimão was rebuilt in the 18th and extensively renovated in the 19th. From the original structure a fine gothic doorway with decorated capitals, a gargoyle and buttresses remain. The interior consists of three naves. On the high altar is a magnificent carved and gilded retable with baroque decoration. Manueline style fonts from the 16th century and an ashlar of glazed tiles from the 17th century are noteworthy. There is a 16th century statue of St. Peter the Apostle which stands out, along with four crucifixes made of ivory and lignum vitae.
