The Graça church and convent are located near the Graça viewpoint, one of the most beautiful scenic points in Lisbon. They were founded by the hermit monks of Saint Augustine, in 1271, but the original building has undergone several changes since then. Nowadays, it serves as a military facility, but the church is still open for public visits. One of the most interesting points inside is the image of Senhor dos Passos, a portrayal of Christ in purple clothes, used in Easter's religious processions. You can admire it in its camarim (cabinet), placed in the right side of the central altar (accessible through stairs).As the great earthquake of 1755 left Graça church in ruins, it was then rebuilt in a Baroque style. It presents a sober façade, where a bas-relief of Saint Augustine stands out. Inside, one can admire beautiful Portuguese tile works that date back from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, the detailed paintings in the ceiling and two monumental marble chairs placed on the vestry. The side chapels display gilded altars in Rococo style and a set of religious figures from the 17th century. The church's striking bell tower, built by Manuel da Costa Negreiros, was finished in 1738.
