S. Vicente de Fora

It dates back to a church, begun in 1582 in the place where D. Afonso Henriques had ordered the construction of a primitive temple also under the invocation of São Vicente. This saint was proclaimed patron saint of Lisbon in 1173, when his relics were transferred from the Algarve to a church outside the city walls.
Its construction only began in 1590 by the architect and engineer Filippo Terzi (1520 - 1597) . Another prominent figure in the work of São Vicente de Fora is undoubtedly the Portuguese architect Baltasar Álvares learning of Roman Mannerism acquired through his Portuguese architect and engineer uncle Afonso Álvares (15??-1580). Thus was born a new architectural style in Portugal that would serve as a model in the following religious constructions.
The work was completed in 1627.
