Description

Gothic architecture is, in Portugal, very much driven by the architecture of the mendicant Orders. In Oporto the franciscans have built his first church in the second half of the Thirteen Century. Shortly after, between 1383 and 1425, and with the patronage of King Fernando I, the friars built a new church over the previous one. This church, Oporto Saint Francis, shares a lot of solutions similar with the mendicant ghotic architecture of Galicia (Northwest Spain), especially with Pontevedra's Saint Francis church.
