Convento de Nossa Senhora do Bom Sucesso, Lisboa

Founded in 1639 to house a congregation of Irish Dominican nuns, the Convent of Nossa Senhora do Bom Sucesso also became a school almost 200 years ago, but it only stopped being a convent house in 2016, when the last Irish nuns took to the house- mom. Son of the wars between Protestants and Catholics in century Ireland. XVII, this convent located in Belém, was protected by the Crown from the first moment and built on a farm donated by a Portuguese noblewoman. With erudite architecture and a sumptuous church, this complex resisted the 1755 earthquake almost unscathed and has never ceased to be inhabited and functional since its foundation. Guided tour by Ana Cristina Mariz Fernandes, former student and director of the school, and by art historian Miguel Soromenho.
