Torre dos Clérigos is Porto’s ex libris. This iconic baroque tower was designed by architect Nicolau Nasoni, and its construction was finished in 1763. It’s 76 meters (over 240 feet) high.

It was built next to Igreja dos Clérigos (also designed by Nasoni a few decades prior). It has two pipe organs and gold leaf decorations. The organ pipes are still in use, and there’s a concert at midday every day. Even if it’s quite touristy, most locals have climbed the Tower at least once (I’ve climbed it thrice!) and enjoyed the rare view of the city.

Is the Igreja e Torre de Clérigos Worth it?

Yes, the Igreja e Torre dos Clérigos is one of the most popular place for travelers to visit during their stay in Porto. The tower is definitely worth climbing (unless you’re terribly afraid of heights or tight spaces, since the staircase is quite narrow at times), and you can see the whole city from there. The Church is just dazzling as the view.
