[PT]
"Edifício tardo-gótico com elementos manuelinos, barrocos, neogóticos, apresenta planta em cruz latina com três naves, transepto (com duas capelas) e cabeceira salientes. A sua construção, de quinhentos, sofreu um impulso fundamental com a passagem de D. Manuel por Vila do Conde, em 1502, que definiu o traçado da planta, atribuiu um subsídio e criou um imposto para a mesma. Destaque para o pórtico, fortemente decorado, cuja autoria se atribui a João de Castilho, bem como para a torre sineira quadrangular, erguida em 1573, da autoria de João Lopes, O Velho. No interior destaque para os retábulos, o púlpito e as abóbadas de arestas das capelas ricamente decoradas e arco em cantaria com policromia, entre outros."
