Sao Domingo (St. Dominic's church), LIsbon, Portugal

St.Dominic's is one of the oldest churches in Lisbon. The church was dedicated in 1241 and was, at the time, one of the biggest churches in Lisbon. Prior to the establishment of the modern Portuguese republic in 1910, the church typically hosted Portuguese royal weddings. It was also formerly the home of the Inquisition. Jesuit missionary Garbriel Malagrida was famously executed at the church in 1761 after being accused of treason. As you can see, the church was damaged by the 1531 Lisbon earthquake and almost completely destroyed in 1755's earthquake. Rebuilding began quickly but wasn't completed until 1801. In 1959 the church was devastated once again when a fire broke out in the building. The fire, which killed 2 firefighters, took more than 6 hours to extinguish and completely gutted the church, destroying many important paintings and and statues. In 1994, the church reopened and the restoration left many signs of the fire in place.
