Porto has many different churches, temples and chapels - some impress with their appearance, while others surprise with their interior decoration. The Church of the Souls of St. Joseph Taipash is not remarkable in appearance: it has a simple facade with a neoclassical portico, a large window and a low square bell tower decorated with azulejo tiles. The church was built in the 19th century, but the chapel next to it dates back to the 17th century. It is managed by the Brotherhood of St. Joseph Taipash, founded in 1780.
