The very modern church towers over the city. Along with the rest of the complex on the hill, it's worth seeing.

The uphill walk is quite strenuous. Hiking boots are recommended. You'll be rewarded with a great view of the entire city. Restaurants are available.

The plans for the building were drawn up by the Portuguese architect José Marques da Silva. Work began on August 6, 1930. Marques da Silva broke with traditional forms of church construction in Portugal and heavily influenced the Art Deco style of the 1930s. Locally sourced granite was used almost exclusively in the construction. During construction, a fire broke out on February 4, 1939, which destroyed an image of the Immaculate Conception and a carving crowning the main altar. This delayed the completion of the church. The church was consecrated on September 14, 1947, without the architect present, who had died three months earlier.
