5/5
Very powerful church. Europe is not for lacking the beautiful and overpowering churches. The interior of this church presents a stark contrast with the rest of the luxuriously adorned churches which granted it an unique and powerful place in history. Igreja de Sao Domingos was first constructed in the 13th century, and after having survived multiple earthquakes and restorations, it was again devastated by fire in the 20th century which took the lives of a few and took much of the interior with it. As a result, the interior of the church is left with the remnants marks of injury from the many disasters, and yet it is still standing strong. It almost felt as if I was making a trip back in time and experiencing the ache of the structure while standing in the middle of it.

    The archway is very angry. It is easy to be attracted by the appearance of this church. It is full of medieval style buildings. The interior is still free to visit. The space is quite large. The light is not very good in the afternoon. You can see something. [View] The scenery here is not bad [Fun] Very interesting

    The church was built in 1241, before the establishment of the Portuguese Republic, as a church for the Royal Portuguese Wedding. It was partially damaged in the earthquake of 1531 and completely destroyed in the earthquake of 1755. It was rebuilt soon, but was not completed until 1907. In 1959, the church was damaged by fire, and many important oil paintings and sculptures were damaged. After reconstruction, there are still many remains of the original fire.

    We like to take a walk around the ruins of Santa Clara Monastery. We went to a number in Antigua and this hotel is our favorite. There's so much to see and you never know what the next corner will be. It's good that we don't have a guide, but we have enough freedom to explore in our leisure. They have the cleanest bathroom, as some people said in previous reviews.
