59 Sao Roque church, Lisbon. Jesuit HQ.
This Lisbon church has
plenty of gold leaf and gilt. Baroque altars, lots of relic holders for a bunch
of saints. Also a solemn looking alms box. It was originally built because St Roch
had a good reputation for warding off the Plague. It is the earliest Jesuit
church in the Portuguese world, and was Jesuit HQ for 200 years (until the
Jesuits got expelled from Portugal). It
was one of the few buildings to survive the 1755 earthquake. And it has a Jesus
carrying the cross statue with an impressive amount of hair. In front of the church is a statue of a 17th century Jesuit missionary (and literary star) protecting South American indigenous children. (No doubt not the whole story to say the very least, though he did work to oppose slavery).
