Intervention by AFA team in the project "Requalification and Disclosure of the Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso", Porto

The AFA to find out what they do not see Intervention by AFA team in the project "Requalification and Disclosure of the Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso", Porto. - The results indicate that despite the Prohibition of burials in the churches, by a decree of September 28, 1844, it seems to have continued to fill up dead in this space. In these surveys prevailing burials of young children, which may suggest burials executed quickly, due to a possible epidemic. In the survey 3, we reveal a large ditch parallel to the cuts and that will have destroyed possible burials in the base rock. This ditch may correspond to the foundation ditch of the building north of the church, which would have been built in the 20's of the last century. Of the burials detected, most of them, in the base rock, were cut / destroyed by more recent burials, in coffin, that were oriented from Southwest to Northeast.
