#main altar

The main altar of the Church of Saint Joseph of the Hospital (a.k.a. Church of the Holy Spirit). The altar itself is from the second half of the XVIII Century, when this temple was completely remade; however, the original church of the Holy Spirit was built during the XV Century.

A couple of Baroque angels on both sides of the main altar of the Church of the Convent of Saint Anthony of the Capuchins, in Tavira, Algarve, Portugal. These two don't seem very happy to be there, do they?

The main altar of the Parish Church of Mértola (aka Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation)  reuses the mihrab of the old local mosque.

I am a huge fan of religious art, but I also those who point the finger at the Catholic Church condemning such ostentation while a lot of people in the world struggle to find  something to eat.

Judging by the number of pictures I took at the Evora's Cathedral, it is easy to realise that I had to write a college essay about it. However, my paper was about the gothic architecture of this church and it did not include this wonderful - and baroque - main altar.

In Portugal, it is quite rare to find a medieval church with its original altar. The Cathedral of Évora is no exception - this main altar is from the baroque period.
