Convento de São Pedro de Alcântara

This is a beautiful church to visit just across the street from the wildly popular Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara (viewpoint) in Bairro Alto.The Chapel of the Lencastres just outside the main church entrance is very impressive. It is laid with marble and included a lovely altar.The main church is equally attractive with Baroque features, a nice high altar and walls lined with azulejo (blue and white tile) panels that make for a most beautiful viewing of the church.Well worth visiting for 10-20 minutes if you plan to spend time at Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara.
