Viewpoint, Highest Point in the City, one of the viewpoints with the best view over Lisbon. former Hermitage of Nossa Senhora do Monte founded in 1147 and consecrated to Saint Gens, a bishop who, according to tradition, was martyred here. It was on this ancient Monte de São Gens that D. Afonso Henriques set up camp to conquer the city.
The current temple is located on the site of a church built in 1568, by order of Infanta D. Maria, daughter of D. Manuel I, to receive the reliquary of the virgin martyr Engrácia of Zaragoza and on the occasion of the creation of the parish of Santa Engrácia. This ancient church was built on the site of a mid-12th century temple, but was severely damaged by a storm in 1681. The first stone of the current building was laid the following year, in 1682. The work lasted so long that it gave rise to to the popular expression "works of Santa Engrácia" to designate something that never ends. The church was only completed in 1966, 284 years after its beginning, by express determination of the government of the time

We thought we'd discover the city quietly and we visited shops and churches, heard the story of Lisbon, got off at least 25x the tuk tuk. Priceless tour 120 euros for nothing...no interest
