These pictures were taken inside the magnificent Igreja de Sao Rogue (St Roch Church) in Lisbon. It is a 16th century building made in the tradition of the Jesuits. It has a rich intricate splendour which gives a sense of overawing majesty.
It has a chapel said to be the world’s most expensive chapel and dedicated to St John the Baptist.
It was built with precious ornaments and materials like the amethyst, ivory, alabaster,gold,silver,bronze, carrera marble, purple and green porphyry etc.
I find the detailing that went into the interior of the monument overwhelming.
Talk about dedication and commitment to one’s belief!
