Igreja de São João Baptista, Baroque church in Lumiar, Portugal
The Igreja de São João Baptista features three naves, a bell tower with four bells, and architectural elements from different historical periods including Baroque and Manueline styles.
The construction of the church began in 1215 under Bishop Mateus of Lisbon on lands belonging to King Afonso III of Portugal.
The church contains a chapel dedicated to Saint Brigid, housing her skull which was brought by three Iberian knights who are also buried at the site.
The church opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 19:00, with daily masses at 9:30 and 18:30.
A stone cross from 1619 stands in the churchyard, originally used as a shelter for livestock receiving Saint Brigid's blessing during religious ceremonies.
