Igreja de São Domingos, Lisboa (Portugal)

[ENG] The Igreja de São Domingos of Lisbon (Portugal) is declared a national monument by the Institute of Gestão do Património Arquitetónico e Arqueológico. It was built in the 13th century by order of King Sancho II, being the largest of the time and in which royal weddings and funerals were held. It was added to a convent by Alfonso III and expanded by Manuel I, losing its medieval characteristics. In this temple the beginning of the «Lisbon Massacre of 1506» is located, in which a mob persecuted and killed thousands of Jews accused of being the cause of the drought, famine and pestilence that devastated the country, only the intervention of the King Manuel I of Portugal put an end to the mutiny by sending his royal troops and punishing the guilty with harsh penalties. It has suffered very important catastrophes in which valuable riches have been lost and that have made it necessary to rebuild it: the earthquake of 1531, the tsunami of 1755 and the great fire of 1994 of which its traces can be seen today.

Ha sufrido importantísimas catástrofes en las que se han perdido valiosas riquezas y que han obligado reconstruirla: el terremoto de 1531, el tsunami de 1755 y el gran incendio de 1994 del que actualmente se aprecian sus huellas.
