Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha

The Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha was founded in 1534 as the Church of Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia and was at the time the second largest temple in Lisbon after the Jerónimos Monastery. The earthquake of 1755 destroyed the old church, but not its façade, which is, together with the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower, one of the most beautiful Manueline structures to have survived the great earthquake. In 2013-14, the church was restored with an investment of 1.1 million euros.
