Saint Andrew's Church

Saint Andrew's Church is a Presbyterian church building located on Rua Arriaga in Lisbon's Lapa neighborhood. The structure features the design and proportions typical of Protestant places of worship from its era, with interior spaces arranged for both formal services and community gatherings.

The Free Church of Scotland established this congregation in 1866 and completed the current building around 1899. The structure has remained architecturally unchanged since its completion more than a century ago.

This congregation draws English speakers and international residents who gather to worship together in a welcoming community setting. The space serves as a meeting point where people from different backgrounds connect through shared faith and fellowship.

Sunday services take place in English and are followed by informal gatherings where people share refreshments and conversation. The church sits on a quiet street in the Lapa neighborhood, making it accessible on foot from nearby areas.

This is the only Church of Scotland congregation in the entire country and has been part of the International Presbytery since 2016. Few visitors realize this makes it a noteworthy place for Scottish heritage within Portugal's religious landscape.
