Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha

Local nameIgreja da Conceição Velha
LocationLisbon, Portugal

The Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição is a church in the civil parish of Madalena, in the municipality of Lisbon.

The Church of Conceição dos Freires, or Conceição Velha, was not included in the original plans to reconstruct the Lisbon riverfront, even though it was partially ruined. Instead, King Joseph gave the monks from the Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição the location of the Misericórdia church, and ordered Pombaline architect Francisco António Ferreira in 1770, to rebuild the structure. Once renovations were completed, the clerics of the Conceição, re-occupied the rebuilt Misericórdia Church, and the Brotherhood of the Misericórdia was transferred to the Church of São Roque.
