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.
