Convento de Santo Domingo, Dominican convent and church in central Lisbon, Portugal.

The church features a grand nave with marble columns supporting the high altar, displaying marks from past fires on its stone walls.

Founded in 1241, the church endured the 1755 earthquake and a severe fire in 1959, requiring extensive rebuilding efforts until 1994.

The church square became a center for the African community in Lisbon, while commemorating the victims of the 1506 religious persecution.

Located near Rossio Metro Station, the church opens daily from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM and connects to multiple pedestrian shopping streets.

The interior maintains visible fire damage on its columns and walls, creating an authentic memorial to the building's difficult past.
