Torre dos Clérigos

Torre dos Clérigos is a jewel of Baroque architecture in Porto, designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni in the 18th century.

This distinctive 76-meter-high octagonal tower offers a breathtaking 360° view of the city and the Douro River.

Climbing the 240 steps is quite a challenge, but the reward of a panorama of Porto's red rooftops is well worth it. The tower has historically served as a bell tower, observation post and weather station, which adds to its historic charm.
