Seminary of Santiago

This former college and seminary in the Largo de São Tiago was built by Archbishop Frei Bartolomeu dos Martires for the Society of Jesus. It's a very large U-shaped building which is based on an ancient medieval tower wall (now Museum of History). The Seminary Chapel is at the back of the square and is the current parish Igreja de São Paulo. The facade is Baroque and typically Portuguese with white granite details framing the doorway and windows, above the main door there's a triangular pediment and higher up a large shield of the order. Currently the interior of this seminary is the Pius XII Museum.
