Church of Santo António

Igreja de Santo António

Place of worship

A small baroque church a few steps below the Sé, built in 1767 where a 15th-century chapel marked the birthplace of Santo António, Lisbon's own saint. His image survived the 1755 earthquake, and stairs lead down to a crypt where a relic of the saint lies behind wrought-iron grilles.
