Capela das Almas

The chapel is older than its tiles. The panels wrapping its façades on Rua de Santa Catarina and Rua Fernandes Tomás were designed by Eduardo Leite and date from 1929. They centre on Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine and cover the whole corner instead of just framing a doorway. The official name is Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina.
