When visiting Lisbon, you may choose to stay in one of the cheap hotels near the São Vicente de Fora Church in Lisbon - a truly magnificent site to visit with a long history. The monastery of St Vincent was started in the 12th Century, but construction on the current church began in 1582 and took until 1704 to complete. The dome sadly crashed to the ground during the infamous great earthquake in 1755.
The last queen of Portugal, Amélia, was buried here after she died in 1951. She lies alongside her husband Carlos I and her son Prince Luís Felipe, who were both killed in an assassination at Praça do Comércio in 1908. The church has an Italian Renaissance façade with twin towers and a very spacious interior. There is also a barrel vault and the rebuilt dome, which stands today instead of the original. It is possible to climb the towers which afford superb views of the city below. Inside there is a rare and unusual ivory statue of Jesus, which attracts many visitors.
