Travel stories, a city trip to Lisbon in Portugal, the Sao Roque church

The church of Sao Roque is full of marble, gold and ivory. The Sao Roque church is beautiful to see inside. To secure all this, a lot of security agents are walking around. This is to deter potential thieves or vadals.

The church Sao Roque in Lisbon - Portugal was built between 1565 and 1583. This church Sao Roque was the earliest Jesuit church in Portugal and served them for 200 years until they were expelled from Portugal. After the earthquake of 1755 this was one of the few buildings in Lisbon that remained relatively undamaged. Subsequently, the church of Sao Roque was given to the charity house to replace their church that had been destroyed.

�The style of the structure is specifically one of an auditorium church, meant to preach. It contains a number of Kapellen, most in the baroque style of the early 17th century. The most striking chapel is the 18th-century chapel of St. John the Baptist, which was built in Rome, sent to Lisbon and mounted there. The chapel of St. John the Baptist is fully occupied with many gems and at the moment presumably the most expensive chapel in Europe.
