The Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation (or the Parochial Church of Porches) is a church situated in the civil parish of Porches, in the municipality of Lagoa in the Portuguese region of Algarve.

History

Founded in the 16th century, the church retains a few vestiges of its early history.[1] Only the chancel remains of the original church, which was later ruined by the 1755 earthquake.[1]

It was sometime during the 18th century that azulejo tile was installed in the main nave.[1]

A portion of the older temple was incorporated into the structure of the modern church, although remodeling in 1882 transformed the character of the present building.[1]

Architecture

The exterior is an example of southern Portuguese church architecture with a somber facade.[1] The principal facade is oriented towards the west, with a triptych portico aligned on either side by a square annexes, surmounted by royal crown.[1]

The interior is notable for the chancel, dedicated to Our Lady of the Incarnation, with ribbed vaulting, and faced with tiles from the 17th century; and an 18th-century altar-piece of gilded carved wood with several images.[1] The vaulted-ceiling within the presbytery is decorated in azulejo tile, while the chancel is gilded in gold.[1]

More recently, the Irish artist, Patrick Swift, designed the stations of the cross for the church. Swift is buried in the local cemetery.[2]
