The construction of the Lapa Church began in 1755 at the request of the Brazilian priest Ângelo Sequeira, and it took more than a hundred years to build due to the French invasions of Portugal, and since 1835, the church houses the heart of King Pedro IV, which he granted to the city of Porto to thank all its citizens For all the great sacrifice and courage they showed when they supported him during the war against his brother Miguel, the heart is located near the main altar next to the Bible in a small shrine designed by Costa Lima.
