Nestled in the charming Largo da Graça, within the enchanting parish of São Vicente, lies the Igreja da Graça - a stunning gem in the heart of Portugal's capital. Renowned for its architectural splendor and rich history, this church whisks you away on a journey through time.
Established in the 13th century, the Igreja da Graça has gracefully evolved through the ages, even outlasting the infamous 1755 earthquake. Its delightful mix of Baroque and Manueline styles blend harmoniously within its walls, and encase a treasure trove of exquisite tiles from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.
Admire the baroque decoration of the sacristy, and pay homage to the tomb of D. Mendo de Fóios Pereira. With its status as a National Monument since 1910, the Igreja da Graça is a pretty remarkable piece of history!
