Una iglesia la que tiene una maravillosa arquitectura en todos sus aspectos, te deja sin palabras y sin aliento ❤️
La basílica merece la pena visitarla, es muy amplia y tiene dos alas. Se ofrece misa durante la semana. Además, comprando una entrada a precios accesibles y descuentos para estudiantes, se puede acceder a su cúpula con una escalerita en espiral que aunque angosta, es breve. Las vistas que ofrece de la ciudad son completas. Y también con cuidado se puede apreciar desde allí parte del interior de la basílica.
La entrada a la iglesia es gratis, tienes la opción de ir a la cúpula pagando 4 euros, aceptan efectivo o tarjeta y te regalan una hermosa postal por cada entrada. Merece muchísimo subir ya que hay unas vistas increíbles de Lisboa y del interior de la basilica. El personal es muy amable.
