Church of Saint Dominic
Largo São Domingos, 1150-320 Lisboa
Baroque church scarred by fire and history, its blackened walls deliberately left as witness.
This guide to the Church of Saint Dominic in Lisbon starts with the scorched walls left visible after a nineteen fifty-nine fire, then reaches back to Easter Sunday, fifteen-oh-six, a time of plague and drought, when a crowd gathered inside over a light seen shining from a crucifix. It follows the Dominican friars present that day and a converso in the congregation who questioned what the crowd believed. A memorial in the square today calls Lisbon the City of Tolerance.
