Igreja de São Domingos is a historic Roman Catholic church located in Lisbon, Portugal. Established in 1241, it was once the largest church in the city and a venue for royal weddings prior to the formation of the modern Portuguese republic in 1910. The church experienced significant damage from the 1531 and 1755 earthquakes, with the latter nearly destroying it completely. It was restored, but a devastating fire in 1959 left visible signs of its tumultuous past. Visitors can explore the Baroque architecture and remnants of its rich history. The church is classified as a National Monument and is a must-see for tourists interested in cultural heritage. It is typically open daily, with no admission fee, making it accessible to all.
