Igreja de São Roque
A plain façade hiding a striking gilded and marble interior.
The contrast between the plain exterior and the side chapels is the big surprise. A good choice for a rainy day in Bairro Alto.
Our Bairro Alto guide covers what else is around. About 1 minutes' walk away is Museu de São Roque. It is part of the Lisbon in 3 days itinerary. If you do Óbidos and Nazaré, you can add this on your way back into Lisbon. By metro, get off at Restauradores (about 230 m on foot).
