Holy Eucharistic Miracle Church
The Parish Church osf Santo Estêvão dates back to the 13th century.
Currently we find a building from the 16th century with a very simple facade, with interesting Renaissance notes inside.
The whole is a work of great elegance and quality that justifies the presence of this small church in the itineraries of the Renaissance in Santarém.
This temple is also known as The Holy Eucharistic Miracle Church (Igreja do Santíssimo Milagre), a name linked to a religious episode of great devotion that took place in Santarém, in the 13th century, and is still the object of intense veneration in the city.
Since the occurrence of the miracle, this church has been the destination of numerous processions, made by the royal court, or by great personalities of the nobility and clergy, mainly on the pretext of illness, floods, or drought.
