A magnificent church. Really gorgeous Manueline portal of the Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Velha church is a remnant of the Nossa Senhora da Misericordia church from the 16th century, damaged in the 1755 earthquake. The portal is decorated with Manueline elements, including angels, animals, flowers. Inside, you can admire the baroque decoration in which the azulejos harmonize with the golden wooden carvings and the painting. It also has a beautiful 19th-century pipe organ and the statue of Nossa Senhora do Restelo, under which Portuguese navigators knelt and prayed before departing for marine discoveries. Worth a visit.

We attended the anticipated mass on a Saturday here. Beautiful church! We missed the English mass at 530pm but there was a 630pm mass in Portuguese. There is a crypt below the church where Saint Anthony was born. This church is right next to the Cathedral and is on the Tram 28 route.

Ornateness is the byword for this lovely church, from its delightful bright facade to its luminous interior. So much so that it has been deemed a National Monument. Embellishments reach an apogee in the enthralling vestibule. The vista along the nave is inspiring in its beauty, leading to the glorious altar. Statuary is throughout and some powerful images are depicted, including Christ with the Cross on the road to Golgotha.

My wife and I recently visited Portugal this year and I thought I was finished with my reviews when I stumbled onto a couple of photos of the Igreja de Sao Nicolau....or Iglesia de San Nicolas This was just another beautiful church in a city filled with them.The church is very old (1155 ) and has been rebuilt a couple of times due to an earthquake and fire. It is amazing inside. But be warned the staff is not very welcoming to visitors taking photos...I almost felt like a spy taking these. However, it is still worth a visit if you are interested in historic buildings, especially churches.

The oldest church in Lisbon, this cathedral reminds one of the Notre Dame in Paris because of the two paralel towers guarding the entrance. It is beautiful and stands proudly at the top of a hill, dominating the neighbourhood. Easily missed as it is not on the main streets of downtown, one has to make a point detouring to its location. You will not be dissapointed.
