This 16th-century convent café showcases Portugal's stunning azulejo tile heritage through beautifully restored rooms displaying centuries-old multicolored tiles, with standout panoramic views of pre-1755 Lisbon in the cloisters.
“The oldest azulejos are displayed on the walls of the great cloister and the small Manueline cloister: note the panoramic view of Lisbon before 1755 and the chapter house over the nave.”
