Monastery of São Vicente de Fora

The Church of Santa Engrácia has a tumultuous history that began with its construction, which lasted 284 years, from 1682 to 1966. In fact, the construction suffered many setbacks due to the change of use of the building, which was used as an armaments shop for the Army Arsenal and as a shoe factory at the end of the 19th century. On completion in the 1960s, the church became the National Pantheon of Portugal, housing the bodies of important Portuguese figures.

The Igreja de Santo Estêvão is a church founded in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 18th century in the Alfama district of Lisbon. The terrace in front of the church offers a wonderful viewpoint over the Tagus River.

The construction of the church began in 1711 with the support of King João V. It belonged to the Order of the Franciscans. The church miraculously survived the earthquake of 1755.
