What to expect
Mosteiro de Sao Vicente de Fora
1h 10m · Admission ticket included
The tour begins at the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, one of Portugal's great religious ensembles, founded after the Christian conquest of Lisbon in 1147. Inside you will discover monumental cloisters, an extraordinary collection of Baroque tiles, the sacristy of polychrome marbles, a medieval cistern from the 12th century and the royal pantheons of the Bragança dynasty and the Patriarchs of Lisbon. In addition, this place has a special spiritual value: here was formed St. Anthony of Lisbon, before becoming one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic world.
One of the most memorable moments of the tour is the climb to the roof of the monastery, a little-known panoramic viewpoint with 360-degree views over Lisbon, the Tagus River, Alfama and the historic center. A perfect place to understand the city from another perspective and enjoy one of its most impressive views.
