Church of St. Vincent de Fora

This guide to the Church of St. Vincent de Fora in Lisbon opens on February 1, 1908, when King Carlos I and his son were shot dead in an open carriage crossing Lisbon's main square. It follows the royal mausoleum built for the House of Braganza inside the old monks' refectory, the young heir who was crowned that same afternoon, and the azulejo-tiled cloister depicting La Fontaine's fables. Step into the cloister before you leave to see the tilework up close.
