The Igreja de São João Baptista, in Tomar, dates back to the 15th century and was built on the site of an earlier church, which had been demolished and was already dedicated to St John. In 1910, it was designated a national monument. Today, it stands as one of Tomar’s most iconic landmarks.
Signinum was responsible for a comprehensive restoration of both the exterior and interior of the building. The roof was replaced and the façade, bell tower, clock mechanism room, chapels, tiles and all the artistic features were restored. Following this work, a mural that had been hidden for over a century was discovered in the sacristy. In the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament and the Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Signinum uncovered further murals.
