This church belongs to the Brotherhood of the Souls of the Holy Body of Massarelos, which, according to tradition, was founded in 1394 by sailors returning from England who had survived a violent storm. Prince Henry the Navigator is said to have been a member of this brotherhood, which played a vital role in Porto’s economic and maritime affairs. Built in 1776 on the site of an earlier temple, the church features a striking tile panel on its rear façade, depicting the Age of Discovery, with a notable image of Prince Henry himself.

Alfandega Porto Congress Centre
Constructed in the second half of the 19th century, the Alfândega building was designed by French architect Jean Colson in response to Porto’s booming commercial activity. The construction involved creating a vast quay platform to support the Customs House. In 1888, a railway branch connected it to Campanhã Station, allowing efficient goods transport. Today, the historic building houses a Conference Center and the Museum of Transport and Communications.
