Discover Torre dos Clérigos in Porto: history, climbing the tower and the panoramic view over the city.
Torre dos Clérigos was designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni and completed in 1763, reaching 75 metres — the tallest tower in Portugal at the time. Climbing its 225 steps rewards you with a 360° view over the terracotta rooftops of Porto, the Douro River and the Atlantic horizon on clear days. The tower is open daily; tickets cost around €6 and include access to the church below.
