Church of St. Dominic (Igreja de São Domingos)

The Church of St. Dominic (Igreja de São Domingos) in Lisbon, dating back to the 1200s, greets visitors with an unassuming facade that belies its stunning interior. Stepping inside, an orangey-peach ceiling draws the eye toward the altar and the alcoves surrounding it. The columns lining the church bear the marks of a massive earthquake in 1755 and a fire in 1959, adding a layer of historical texture to the baroque architecture. Today, visitors can explore this resilient structure, witnessing the interplay of history and beauty within its walls.
