This August the Clérigos Brotherhood is open for night tours to provide a true "owl night vision" experience. The goal is to offer everyone who visits the city of Porto a "unique experience".

It is advisable to buy tickets in advance, by sending an email to info@torredosclerigos.pt stating the day, number of people and visiting hours chosen (each tour begins every thirty minutes).

Torre dos Clérigos reopened doors on 30th May, following a two-month lockdown period. All the Covid-19 preventive measures are in place, namely occupancy capacity, mandatory use of face masks and hand sanitation. 

The Clérigos is a monument of baroque inspiration designed by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni. Construction works began in 1754 and were completed in July 1763.
