The church from the beginning of Portugal

Yesterday I showed part of the view of Graça viewpoint, located in the parish of Graça.
Today I show the church. As we read from the experts, the church was erected in the second half of the twelfth century, where still camped the troops of Dom Afonso Henriques (the first king of Portugal) that took the city from the Moors.
The church has undergone several renovations. The latter occurred after the great earthquake of 1755.

Ontem mostrei parte da vista do Miradouro da Graça, que se encontra na freguesia da Graça.
Hoje mostro a igreja. Segundo lemos junto dos especialistas, a igreja foi erguida na segunda metade do século XII, no local onde acamparam as tropas de Dom Afonso Henriques (o primeiro rei de Portugal) que tomaram a cidade aos mouros.
A igreja passou por várias remodelações. A última ocorreu depois do grande terramoto de 1755.
