Church of Our Lady of Victory, Porto

The Church of Our Lady of Victory (Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Vitória) is a historic 18th-century Baroque church located in the medieval Vitória quarter of Porto, Portugal. The current structure was built between 1755 and 1769 by initiative of Bishop D. Frei António de Sousa, replacing an earlier 1539 chapel. It sits on land belonging to the former Jewish quarter of Olival (Judiaria do Olival). The church suffered heavy damage during the 1832–1833 Siege of Porto (Cerco do Porto), and a canon ball remains embedded in its exterior side wall today. A major fire destroyed the main altar (altar-mor) and original patron sculpture in 1874, leading to subsequent Rococo and classic reconstructions
