Situated in the residential area of Pedra Mourinha, in Portimão, this church stands out for its modern architecture and elevated position, easily recognizable in the urban landscape.
The building features a contemporary style, with straight lines, tall columns, and arch-shaped windows that evoke the Gothic style. The facade is imposing, with a wide symmetrical staircase leading to the main entrance, flanked by pillars and elevated balconies. The construction is simple, but conveys a sense of solidity and serenity.
The church is located in a quiet area of the city, surrounded by homes and easily accessible. The main entrance offers a wide and direct view for those coming up Rua Quinta das Oliveiras.
In addition to regular celebrations, this space also hosts initiatives of cultural and spiritual interest. A recent example is the international exhibition “Eucharistic Miracles of the World,” inspired by the work of Blessed Carlo Acutis, which portrays events recognized by the Catholic Church throughout history, through photographs, descriptions, and informative videos.
The Church of Pedra Mourinha is enlivened by an active community, notably the work of the Association of Altar Servers, which contributes to the liturgical and pastoral life of the place.
The church is accessible via stairs and has side areas that may, in the future, allow for easier access. There is parking space in the vicinity.
