Our Lady of Oliveira Church (Lisboa)
Our Lady of Oliveira Church, also known as "Oliveirinha", is a chapel located at R. São Julião140, in the heart of Lisbon. As it stands almost imperceptibly integrated into a low-level Pombaline building, it may not be immediately obvious, but it holds valuable traces from the same era. Here, we find unique tile work and its main image is older than the great 1755 earthquake.
'Oliveirinha ' is a welcoming space that stands out in Marquês de Pombal's urban mesh, offering also a privileged view of the city that is a visit motivation itself. Elaborate tile panels and the Virgin and Infant Christ are also present, making this place an equal combination of devotion and beauty.
Reaching Our Lady of Oliveira Church is easy: you can elect to drive, but it is even more convenient to get there as it is situated at the centre of the city. This small chapel holds both historical and devotional elements that should not be missed. Visiting Our Lady of Oliveira Church is a unique opportunity to enjoy Lisbon and all the history that surrounds it.
