Igreja de São RoqueOpens in a new tabBairro Alto · Churches & Religious SitesThe Igreja de São Roque stands at Largo Trindade Coelho, 1200-470 Lisboa, in the Bairro Alto district. It opens from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00, and on Mondays from 13:00 to 18:00. Admission to the church costs nothing. The site began as a small shrine built to the west of Lisbon by King Manuel I of Portugal, who believed a relic of São Roque, or Saint Roch, would protect the city. Roch lived from 1295 to 1327 and was canonised for healing plague victims; his feast day falls on 16 August. In the later 16th century the shrine became a meeting place for the Society of Jesus. The Jesuits built the church between 1553 and 1573, and it was the first Jesuit church constructed in Portugal. It stayed without a roof until 1582, because the planned vaulted ceiling gave way to a flat one made of Prussian timber, which is painted. The Jesuits used it as their main religious centre for over 200 years, until the Marquis of Pombal forced them out of Portugal in the late 18th century. The Chapel of St. John the Baptist was commissioned by King John V in 1742 and is the fourth chapel on the left as you enter. It was first built in Rome, where Pope Benedict XIV blessed it, then taken apart, shipped to Lisbon on three ships and rebuilt. Gold, ivory, lapis lazuli and agate went into it, and what look like paintings are in fact mosaics. Elsewhere, the Chapel of Our Lady of Doctrine is covered in gold, other chapels feature polychrome marble and gilded woodcarving, and the Chapel of St. Roch holds a tile composition completed in 1584 by Francisco de Matos, showing a "Miracle of St. Roch" on a yellow background. The building survived the 1755 earthquake, one of only a handful in the western districts not completely destroyed. Adjoining the church is a museum created in 1905. It displays sculptures, paintings, relics, jewelry, Flemish tapestry, and a collection of baroque goldsmith work and religious vestments. Museum entry is €2.50, with a 40% discount using the Lisboa Card, and multilingual guided tours cost nothing extra. To reach the church, walk up from Chiado or Bairro Alto, take bus 758 from outside Cais do Sodré Station, or ride the Glória funicular from Restauradores Square and turn left at the top. Behind the church lies the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara.

Igreja de São Vicente de ForaOpens in a new tabAlfama · Churches & Religious SitesIgreja de São Vicente de Fora stands at Largo de São Vicente, 1100-572 Lisboa, on a hill next to Alfama and Graça. The church belongs to a larger complex that also holds an Augustinian monastery, a museum of sacred art and the Royal Pantheon of the Braganza Dynasty. The name, meaning St. Vincent on the Outside, refers to the original church of 1147, which was built outside the city walls. The site grew out of a vow by Portugal's first king to build churches where crusaders from Portugal and northern Europe were buried. The present monastery dates from a reconstruction begun in 1582 by the Spanish architect Juan Herrera, who also designed the Escorial outside Madrid. Its Italian mannerist style served as a model for Portuguese religious architecture, influencing churches across the empire, from Brazil to Macau. The building originally had a dome, but it collapsed onto worshippers during the 1755 earthquake and was never rebuilt. The cloisters are richly decorated with baroque tiles, and the complex is also described as holding a large collection of 18th-century azulejos, the blue-and-white Portuguese ceramic tiles. Among them are 38 panels illustrating the fables of La Fontaine, created by Policarpo de Oliveira Bernardes between 1740 and 1750. Other panels show scenes from the history of Portugal, including the siege of Lisbon in 1147. There is also an ancient cistern. The pantheon of the Bragança dynasty includes the marble tomb of Catherine of Bragança, a Portuguese princess who married King Charles II in 1662 and so became queen of England. The main tomb is that of Carlos I, the next-to-last king of Portugal, who was assassinated shortly before Portugal turned into a republic. A life-size statue of a weeping woman, her hands covering her face, stands over it. Visitors can climb to the rooftop to get close to the towers and look out over Alfama, the river and the National Pantheon. Admission is €4.00 and is not covered by the Lisboa Card. The listed opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 19:30, although one guide says the monastery is closed on Mondays. Tram 28 stops right outside, at the stop called Voz do Operário, and holders of the Lisboa Card ride it for free. You can also walk from the Portas do Sol viewpoint by following the tram tracks. Behind the monastery are the National Pantheon and the site of a flea market, held on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. Further up the hill along the tram tracks is the Graça viewpoint.
