The Franciscan Third Order in Northern Portugal

With this project we intended to study the importance of the Venerable Franciscan Third Order in northern Portugal as promoters of almost always remarkable artistic activities associated with the construction of structures fit for their organization (church or chapel, dispatch house and hospital) and significantly supporting First Orders, to which they are linked.

This project has been on the origin of many international seminars and three collective works, authored by renowned art historians, from Portugal and abroad.
