Audio guide Church of Saint Martin in English
In this audio guide, Emily Thompson takes you through Church of Saint Martin telling the story as you walk. In your accent, no need to read signs — just let your eyes take in what's in front of you.
What you'll hear inside Church of Saint Martin:
- 1Bell Tower
The bell tower is the most striking feature of Igreja de São Martinho's façade, built with distinctly defensive characteristics.
- 2Gothic Apse
The Gothic apse stands as one of Sintra's rare medieval survivals, having escaped the 18th-century Pombaline reconstruction.
- 3Manueline Choir
The Manueline choir is one of the few medieval elements to survive the devastating 1755 earthquake, offering a remarkable window into the reign of Manuel I within Sintra's church.
- 4Frescos de Joaquim José da Rocha (1773)
Joaquim José da Rocha's frescoes (1773) adorn the nave and chancel of the Igreja de São Martinho in Sintra with botanical and geometric designs.
- 5Mannerist Side Altar
This Mannerist side altar stands as one of the few structures to survive the catastrophic 1755 earthquake, offering exceptional insight into Renaissance and Mannerist artistic work within the church.
- 6Portico – Sintra's Balcony
The portico of Igreja de São Martinho, locally known as 'Balcão de Sintra', is one of the most distinctive architectural features of this church.
