Image of Our Lady of Vandoma, polychromed limestone, 14th century.

Our Lady of Vandoma (Portuguese: Nossa Senhora da Vandoma) is the current patron saint of the city of Porto. The sculpture, carved from a block of limestone and standing at 187 cm in height, portrays Our Lady with Baby Jesus, a widespread typology during the Middle Ages. According to the local legend, the image was brought from Vendôme (France) in the 10th century by a regiment of Gascons that engaged the Moors in battle on that spot. The toponym Vandoma (a parish of Paredes) is, however, found in sources that predate the 10th century – which lead historians to speculate that the association between the Vandoma - Vendôme toponyms was created at a later period.
