The Church of St. Vincent began construction in 1147, just after the Portuguese drove the Moor’s from Lisbon. The church was not totally completed until 1629 and construction of the attached convent was not completed until the 18th century. St. Vincent is the patron saint of Lisbon and his remains are buried here along with the remains of many of Portugal’s kings and queens. Having been constructed over such a long period of time the church exhibits a wide range of architectural styles. The interior features a magnificent Baroque alter piece. The church is in the Alfama district and can be accessed via Tram 28.
