Igreja de Chelas, Religious complex in Marvila, Portugal.
The Santo Agostinho Convent includes a church, monastery, cloister, and seminary building situated along the eastern sector of Lisbon's riverside area.
The monastery established in 1579 underwent modifications in the 18th century before being converted into military barracks following the 1834 suppression of religious orders.
The architectural design features two prominent towers and double pilasters, representing Portuguese religious construction methods of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Located at coordinates 38.73989935, -9.117956518025032, the complex requires advance planning for visits due to restricted access and ongoing preservation efforts.
The monastery housed an exiled Bishop of Maranhão during the period when the Marquis of Pombal implemented anti-religious policies against the Jesuits.
