Church of Saint Bartolomeu – Coimbra, Portugal

The Church of Saint Bartolomeu, built in the 18th century, was erected on previous churches from the 10th and 11th century. Subsequently damaged by the Islamic invasions of the 12th century, it was rebuilt as a fragmented capital found in the church, and which is currently exhibited at the Machado de Castro National Museum. Its original plan would have been very similar, even in dimension, to the Church of Saint James, which today remains at the opposite end of the Praça do Comércio or Coimbra Central Square.
