Informations supplémentaires

The Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, located in Lisbon, Portugal, is a magnificent architectural gem steeped in history and cultural significance. Dedicated to Saint Vincent, the patron saint of Lisbon, the monastery was originally founded in 1147 by Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques, to commemorate the city's liberation from Moorish rule. The current structure, however, was built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries under the reign of King Philip II of Spain, who also ruled Portugal. Designed by the Italian architect Filippo Terzi, the monastery features a distinct Mannerist style, characterized by its austere yet elegant façade and richly decorated interior. The building houses the Royal Pantheon of the Braganza Dynasty, where many of Portugal's kings and queens are entombed, including Catherine of Braganza, the Portuguese princess who married England's King Charles II. In addition to its historical significance, the monastery is also a treasure trove of artistic wonders. The stunning azulejo (tile) panels adorning the walls depict scenes from the life of Saint Vincent and the history of Lisbon. These exquisite, blue-and-white masterpieces date back to the early 18th century and were crafted by the prominent Portuguese tile artist, António de Oliveira Bernardes. Today, the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora serves as a museum and a venue for cultural events, continuing its long-standing role as a symbol of Lisbon's rich heritage.
