Best churches to visit in Lisbon

Lisbon’s Jerónimos Monastery in Belém is the city’s greatest church, a Manueline cloister and church built with the wealth of the spice trade and holding the tomb of Vasco da Gama. The cathedral stands in the Alfama, the roofless Carmo Convent recalls the 1755 earthquake, and São Vicente de Fora has tiled cloisters and a roof terrace.
