    The Church of St. Nicholas is located in the Baixa district of Lisbon and open most of the day so it is convenient to visit if passing through the area. Historically, the church was originally built in 1280. However, what you see today is a reconstruction that took place after the devastating 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. Rebuilt between the 1760s and 1850s, the church building you see today as both Baroque and Neo-Classical features. The facade is unassuming while the interior is more ornately decorative. There is a lovely series of beautiful ceiling paintings that depict the live of St. Nicholas. The nave is laid with coloured marble fitted with niche chapels holding sculptures of various saints. There is a gilded sacramental throne in the chancel at the front of the church that is very nice to see as well. Interestingly, near the back you will see a multi-language monitor screen. You can use to learn about the history of the Church of St. Nicholas including what happened during the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. There is information about the church reconstructions as well as important artefacts and ceiling paintings that you can see as well.

    Lisbon has many old churches. Some of them are not that interesting from the outside. But, once you get inside, you can see the beautiful architecture and the details which must have taken years to build. We were staying on Prata Street. One day while walking down the street, we came across this church. The exterior was quite ordinary but, beautiful inside with paintings on the walls and dark wood pews. The ambiance was inviting and peaceful. The church is still active in the community.

    Wonderful unexpected surprise to discover that there is exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for us to spend quiet time in adoration of Jesus, when we walked past on Saturday, at ~830pm ! Anticipatory Mass at 10pm was also so meaningful. Thank you Lord for the priest and his team, for their love and sacrifice to make this available for us.

    One of the most beautiful in Lisbon, the masses are wonderful with the sound of the choir and the beautiful organ in this church, daily confessions, I recommend a visit to this one closer to our Lord Jesus Christ and this is the place for it.

    There was a meeting of orthodox clergymen in this beautiful church. The Catholic Church was generous to lend us the church for the celebration of Divine Liturgy.

    The 7:30 pm Mass was orderly, very traditional with all the songs and altar servants, incense burning etc. It was spot on and fast. Oh, and yes, the covid safety protocol was observed. I loved it

    Worth seeing, and you'll do this as part of the free Rick Steves walk on his app. Great option if you're hoping to see the highlights of the city of Lisbon.

    So pleased to find this peaceful place on the day my pal died. We lit candles and said our special prayers. Tranquil and spiritual church which is clearly supported the locals. Confession was being heard whilst we were there with Mass to follow.

    We went and attended the 900pm or 1000 pm mass and I was honestly surprised that there was a mass this late but so glad that I didn’t miss a mass during the Immaculate Conception Holy day.🙏🙏🙏
