Lisbon - Igreja dos Mártires

Lying a little apart near to the blue tiled corner house Livraria Bertrand on the Rua Garrett stands the Igreja dos Mártires, which was constructed in 1769 as part of new building work carried out after the earthquake. The builder was Reinaldo Manuel.

The interior with its bright marble walls appears very balanced and harmonious. The painting of the barrel vaulted ceiling is the work of Pedro Alexandrino.
