O Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora é um dos principais pontos turísticos de Lisboa, situado na colina de São Vicente, no bairro de Alfama, muito próximo do Panteão Nacional e da Feira da Ladra.

Durante o cerco a Lisboa, em 1147, D. Afonso Henriques – O primeiro rei de Portugal – fez uma promessa: caso conquistasse a cidade mandaria erguer um mosteiro dedicado a São Vicente, um santo muito venerado e mais tarde tornado santo padroeiro de Lisboa. Esse mosteiro medieval, fundado no mesmo ano, do lado de “fora” das muralhas da cidade e justificando assim a toponímia do edifício.

Durante o século XIII destaca-se a passagem de Santo António pelo Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora, onde viveu os seus primeiros tempos enquanto monge.

Desde a sua fundação, no século XII, até aos nossos dias, muito mudou na arquitetura da igreja e Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora. Do primitivo mosteiro ao projeto megalómano de D. Filipe I de Portugal, passando pelas artes decorativas da dinastia de Bragança e até à readaptação do mosteiro como espaço museológico no século XX.

Características

O mosteiro é conhecido pela sua fachada ornada com elementos decorativos, incluindo colunas, arcos e esculturas; pelos dois claustros a sul da igreja que se encontram revestidos com painéis de azulejos; pela sua sacristia ainda utilizada atualmente e considerada o ex-libris do mosteiro devido à sua decoração com mármores coloridos embutidos, do século XVIII; e a cisterna cuja construção data do século XII sendo o principal vestígio do que resta do mosteiro medieval fundado por D. Afonso Henriques e que tinha como principal função armazenar a água das chuvas que seria utilizada nas lides domésticas do mosteiro.

O Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora apresenta uma variada oferta cultural no campo da arquitetura e das artes plásticas.
