Miradouro Da Senhora Do Monte

Igreja de Sao Vicente de Fora
It goes back to a church, begun in 1582 in the place where D. Afonso Henriques had built a primitive temple also under the invocation of St. Vincent. This saint was proclaimed patron of Lisbon in 1173, when his relics were transferred from the Algarve to a Church outside the city walls. The construction began only in 1590 by the hand of the architect and engineer Filippo Terzi (1520 - 1597) according to a drawing of the Spanish architect Juan de Herrera (1530 - 1597). Another outstanding figure in the work of São Vicente de Fora is undoubtedly the Portuguese architect Baltasar Álvares. The latter takes with him a learned learning of the Roman Mannerism acquired through his uncle architect and Portuguese engineer Afonso Álvares (15 ?? - 1580). A new architectural style was born in Portugal that would serve as a model in the following religious buildings. The work was completed in 1627. The church of São Vicente de Fora, located in the area of Alfama, an area that identifies the context of the medieval surroundings of the city of Lisbon in the sixteenth century.
Miradouro Das Portas Do Sol
Largo da Portas do Sol is a street in the city of Lisbon, which belongs to the parish of Santa Maria Maior, in the historic quarter of Alfama. It derives its name from the old Porta do Sol, integrated in the Moorish fence of Lisbon, that existed in this place, ruined in the earthquake of 1755. From the Miradouro do Portas do Sol, among several points of interest, we can see the Church of São Vicente de Fora and the typical neighborhood of Alfama that stretches through several narrow winding streets to the Tagus River. The gazebo of Portas do Sol is a balcony-like space. The magnificent view of the city of Lisbon in its eastern zone blends in perfectly with the view over the Tagus River.
