Not far from the "Sé Catedral de Lisboa", "Casa dos Bicos" (home of the "Fundação José Saramago") and "Praça do Comércio", you will find the second largest manueline style monument in Lisbon - the beautiful "Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha"! The Church was built at the very same site of the ancient "Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia de Lisboa", which was destroyed during Lisbon's 1755 earthquake. The façade of "Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha" is a remanescent of the previous existing Church. Visit the Church, check its windows, portico and façade, all resembling other famous manueline monuments in Lisbon, as the "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos" and the "Torre de Belém". It has been undergoing recent renovations and its visit may be extremely rewarding to all tourists. Enjoy!…

The organist played 16th/17th century Portuguese music. Highly recommended if you like early classical music, or just want to hear a beautiful organ in a fantastic acoustic. The interior of the church is beautifully decorated. Entry is free.…

We were walking past this place and decided to have a quick look inside as it was open. The building architecture is nice both inside and outside. It isn't overly big and wasn't very busy with people walking around it. If you're walking past it is a nice place to have a look inside. The inside is a nice design and nice things to see.…
