"O Tabernáculo Baptista é um templo protestante localizado na rotunda da Boavista, pertencente à Igreja Baptista do Porto, a mais antiga do país, organizada de forma oficial no dia 20 de Dezembro de 1908. O templo só foi inaugurado alguns anos mais tarde, a 13 de Fevereiro de 1916.

A sua construção foi financiada pelo comerciante inglês Charles Jones, o que influenciou na adoção de uma arquitetura similar à do Tabernáculo Metropolitano de Londres.

O Tabernáculo Baptista também sediou o primeiro seminário baptista português."
