The Igreja dos Terceiros de São Francisco church is a Baroque building from the 18th century located in the Aquilino Ribeiro City Park in Viseu, Portugal.
It stands out for its interior, adorned with many Baroque gilded pieces and tile panels representing the life of São Francisco. The façade was designed by master architect António Mendes Coutinho, native to Lamego and a disciple of Nasoni. The main nave of the church is framed by two pilasters and crowned by an undulating frontispiece, a combination of convex and concave curves Baroque in style.
