    The Church of Graça is currently considered one of the most beautiful churches in Lisbon due to its architectural grandeur and history.

    Located in Largo da Graça, Igreja da Graça is currently considered one of the most beautiful churches in the Portuguese capital.

    Founded in the 13th century, in 1291, Igreja da Graça has undergone many changes over time.

    Namely after the 1755 earthquake, where several styles from different periods are still present today, such as Baroque and Manueline.

    Inside, the 16th, 17th and 18th century tiles stand out, as well as the Rococo-style altar sculptures and the 18th century sculptures in the intermediate chapels.

    The Baroque decoration of the sacristy, with its allegorical ceiling, large panel of relics and the tomb of D. Mendo de Fóios Pereira are other points of interest in this place.

    Since 1910, the Igreja da Graça has been classified as a national monument.
