Portuguese innovations that
would influence Portugal and Brasil 1. the
narthex tucked under the choir tribune

• façade the windowed main front was at the time
  unprecedented. It is the prototype and model for
  countless façades in Portugal and Brazil.

• tribunes opening by windowed apertures on the
  nave. The effect transforms the Christian church
  they surround the nave like dwellings, enhancing
  the public character of the space of the nave,
  and permitting a secret or invisible activity
  within the thickness of the upper wall by the
  clergy and by privileged persons with access to
  the tribunes.
