Church of São Sebastião da Pedreira (Lisboa), Portugal
Discover the true beauty of São Sebastião da Pedreira Church in Lisbon. The simplicity of the church's façade hides a full interior of art and beauty. Although it's simple and refined, there is art in every detail and the beauty of the arrangement of the variety of stones. It's a great surprise finding all the diverse works of art constructed with so much dedication!
In the main Chapel, in a National Style, the gilded carving is the work of wood-carver Manuel João da Fonseca, dated 1685 and in the tomb of D. João Bermudes, Patriarch of Alexandria and Ethiopia, deceased in 1570, you can even see original works from the previous chapel.
The Baroque choir is also breathtaking. Columns of Bernini-like elegance, made of greyish stone, create a beautiful contrast while the balustrade at the top, inspired from the beginnings of the 18th century, adds a touch of luxury.
This charming place also has the best in the Sunday masses: a singing choir that fills the place with harmony and beauty. The tiles that adorn the interior are also a marvel.
Discover the beauty of São Sebastião da Pedreira Church and be amazed by the works of art and dedication of the architects and craftsmen. This experience will allow you to sink into moments of serenity you won't want to miss.
