Postscript summary

In the historic centre of Lisbon stands a chapel commissioned by King John V, which was entirely constructed in Rome during the 1740s before being transported and reassembled at the Church of São Roque. This study of the building features contributions from experts on its architecture and outstanding decoration – sculpture, painting and mosaics – in addition to information about its collections of books, metalwork and textiles.
