Igreja de São João Evangelista

Évora, Portugal - Region of Alentejo

This late 15th century church (Saint John the Evangelist) was originally founded to serve as a family pantheon of a count of Portugal.  The interior has beautiful early 18th century hand-painted tiles lining its walls from floor to ceiling, a sight worthy to see.

The special light in Portugal and its deep blue skies contrasting with the white of the buildings are things I never get tired of seeing.
