Igreja do bom jesus de matosinhos

The history of the parish of Matosinhos goes hand in hand with that of the disappeared Bouças Monastery, where the image of Bom Jesus de Bouças was venerated for centuries. In the century. XVI, in view of the ruin of the monastery the image was transferred to a new church that was built in the place of Matosinhos. Its construction began in 1542 at the initiative of the University of Coimbra to whom D. João III had granted the patronage of Matosinhos.
