 The amazing interior... by rsilva
It is an amazing feeling to be inside the church as it feels like it is going to crumble into pieces at any time! This is one of the most amazing churches that I know of.

A discreet facade hides one of the best collections of portuguese treasures - the church of S. Roque or Misericordia. Just in the centre of town it is a simple building with four different chapels in each side. Each one of them is a masterpiece, but the chapel of S. Joao Batista, made in lapis-lazuli is astonishing. Simply... don't miss it. Leave a Comment

 The church as seen from the
Santa Justa Elevator by rsilva
When it was built, this was the largest church in Lisbon. Now only the ruins remain as it was severly damaged during the 1755 earthquake.
This is now the site of the Museu Arqueológico do Carmo (Carmo Archaeological Museum), that can be visited from Mon-Sat 10.00-18.00 (May-Sep) and Mon-Sat 10.00-17.00 (Oct-Apr). It closes on Sundays, Christmas, New year and 1st May.

 As Seen From a Castle
Tower by Bwana_Brown
This lookout spot is backed by an Augustinian monestary (at right) first built in 1271 and reconstructed after the great quake of 1755. The steeple to the left belongs to its associated church, the Igreja da Graca. This church can still be visited and its interior features 17th century hand-painted azulejo tiles. Leave a Comment

 Sé Cathedral in the
middle of the night by arasnosliw
I was told that the nature of this place scared people during that time to believe in God and Catholicism. Look at it, it is IMMENSE. and just dark and scary.
So, I didn't really do the whole churches/monuments sightseeing thing, because I do not enjoy touristic stuff like that...but once while walking back from an enjoyable night in Bairro Alto, we ran into this place.
Sure, it's the middle of the night, and maybe Sé Cathedral is a bit more timid during the day. But heck, we were scared. Plus look at the lighting. Creepy.
I ran to the nearest church the next day and confessed all my sins....
Just kidding.
[ok, P.S. - we weren't really scared, more just delusional :) ] Leave a Comment Address: Largo da SePhone: 351 21 886 6752

Lisbon's Cathedral is called "The Se" and it was the first church in the city. The Romanesque and Gothic style building was inaugurated in 1150, but damaged by earthquakes in 1344 and 1755.
With its two solid towers it has a fortress-like apperance. The interior is not too exciting, but worth a quick look.
Directions:
The Cathedral Se is located at the Lago da Se in the eastern part of the Baixa district. The route of tram #28 leads directly along the Cathedral. Leave a Comment

 Convento do Carmo by HORSCHECK
It was built between 1389 and 1423 in Gothic style, but was half-destroyed by the 1755 earthquake.
Only the Gothic arches and walls survived the earthquake. Nowadays the former main altar is home to a small archeological museum with treasures of Portuguese monasteries.
Directions:
The Convento do Carmo is located at the beautiful Largo do Carmo in the Chiado district. It can be reached with the Elevador de Santa Justa. Leave a Comment

 Sao Vicente de Fora
Church by HORSCHECK
The Renaissance Church was once located outside the city walls; hence the name "de Fora" meaning "on the outside".
The cloisters of the church are decorated with many Portugues tiles (azulejos).
Directions:
The Sao Vicente de Fora Church is located at the eastern end of the Alfama district. There is a tram stop of line #28 just in front of the church. Leave a Comment
