Porto: Igreja de São Francisco (Retable of Saint Lucia)

            The Retable of Saint Lucia was designed by Francisco de Couto e Azevedo and carved by Manuel da Costa Andrada in 1740 at the request of the Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Slaves.

The Igreja de São Francisco (Church of Saint Francis) was constructed by the Franciscan order between 1383 and 1425 in a plain Gothic style, replacing an older church. The church has three naves, the central nave being the highest. At the east end, the church has a transept and an apse with three chapels. The basic Gothic structure has not been altered. 

In the early 18th century the lateral aisles and apse chapels were extensively decorated with exuberant gilt wood work (talha dourada) by several Portuguese wood carvers, for which the church is mostly known today. The Baroque decorations cover the church almost entirely, covering the underlying Gothic structure.
