It was here that, aged 11 or 12, with three of his brothers, Vasco da Gama received the prima tonsure and became a member of the Order of Santiago. In the 18th century, the medieval church, already too small for the number of believers who wanted to attend mass, had to be profoundly remodeled, gaining its current appearance, typical of the Joanine Baroque.
History
The original construction of the Mother Church dates back to the Middle Ages. It was there that Vasco da Gama received from the hands of the Bishop of Safi, in 1480, the “prima tonsure”.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the church was already too small for the number of believers who wanted to attend mass. With authorization from the Order of Santiago, it was profoundly remodeled in the 1930s (probably under the guidance of João Antunes, architect of the Mesa da Consciência e Ordens, or his collaborator), gaining its current appearance, typical of the Joanine Baroque.
The 1755 earthquake forced several restoration works.
It is a Monument of Public Interest (Ordinance n.º 449/2014).
Details
Main altar with tabernacle of the Blessed Sacrament
Images of São João Batista, Nossa Senhora da Graça, Santa Catarina and Senhor Jesus das Almas
Main chapel tiles
Panel on the ceiling, painted by Emmerico Nunes
