Graça Convent, Religious monument in São Vicente, Portugal
The Graça Convent stands on the highest hill of Lisbon, featuring a church, cloister, and terrace that overlooks the city and Tagus River.
Founded in 1271 under Afonso III of Portugal, the convent expanded to include 13 chapels by 1551 and underwent major reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake.
The convent holds the remains of notable Portuguese figures, including Afonso de Albuquerque, and displays 18th-century tile panels throughout its corridors.
Visitors can access the convent via tram 28 to Graça stop, with the church entrance being free while terrace access costs 5 euros for adults.
During Easter, the convent maintains a tradition from 1587 where an image of Christ carrying the cross leads a procession through local streets.
