in 1737, there were a couple of important artistic projects: the installation of the azulejo panels on the lateral walls of the main chapel, attributed to bartolomeu antunes; and the restoration of the main façade, owing to a 400$000 gift received from the estate of josé araújo cerqueira (the façade would not be completed at the time of the expulsion of the jesuits). two years later, though, there was a secondary expansion of the church that also included remodelling of the front façade.
