Geocache Description:

Igreja da Memória

Português

Originalmente, existiu a cache "Memory", colocada pelo Geocacher Bringer a 27-Set-2007. A "Memory" foi o nosso 1º found, pelo que sentimos um carinho muito especial por esta cache! Quando soubemos que a mesma foi arquivada, decidimos "adotá-la", tornando-se assim na nossa 1ª hidden! :)
Aproveitámos e fizemos um facelift! :)

Situada bem próximo do magnífico Palácio da Ajuda, na cosmopolita Lisboa, a Igreja da Memória é um dos tesouros que a capital do país tem para oferecer.

A sua construção teve início em 1760, em MEMÓRIA da tentativa de assassinato do Rei D. José pela família Távora, a 3 de setembro de 1758. D. José regressava de um encontro com uma senhora da família Távora, tendo a sua carruagem sido atacada, e o Rei ferido com uma bala no braço. O Marquês de Pombal, que já tinha então problemas com a família, e gozava de poder absoluto, não perdeu a oportunidade para se vingar, acusando-os de conspiração contra a família real.
Em 1759, toda a família Távora foi executada. No Beco do Chão Salgado, na Rua de Belém, ainda hoje se encontra um pilar de homenagem aos Távoras.

O projeto arquitetónico inicial da igreja esteve a cargo do italiano Giovanni Carlo Bibienna personagem muito conceituada na época. Posteriormente a condução das obras foi entregue a Mateus Vicente de Oliveira.

Ao longo da sua existência, a Igreja da Memória passou pela mão de vários proprietários e teve diferentes utilizações para além do culto, sendo disso exemplo o seu uso enquanto silo de cereais. Foi alvo de remodelações e melhoramentos, mas também sofreu alguns danos, nomeadamente a destruição da sua balaustrada e do zimbório, fruto de um raio que a atingiu em 1985.

A igreja apresenta-se hoje em dia num gracioso estilo neo-clássico, com interior em mármore, destacando-se a sua cúpula e o túmulo de Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, o célebre Marquês de Pombal.

Igreja da Memória

English

Originally, inhere there existed the so called “Memory” cache, which was placed by the Geocacher Bringer on the 27th September 2007. The “Memory” was our first found, and that is why we have always felt a very special involvement regarding it! When we first knew that it had been archived on the 9th of March 2011, we’ve decided to adopt it, and by this means it also turned to be our 1stHidden!:)
We took the chance and had her to make a facelift! :)

It is located very near the magnificent Palácio da Ajuda, in the cosmopolitan city of Lisbon, and we can say that the Memorial Church (or Church of Memory) is one of the greatest treasures that the Portuguese Capital has to offer, not only to its inhabitants, but also to all its visitors.

Its construction started in the year of 1760, to celebrate the MEMORY of the failed attempt of the assassination, by the Távora family, of our King D. José, which occurred on the 3rd of September of 1758. In Portuguese memory means “memória”. The King D. José was returning from a rendezvous with a Lady of the Távora family, when his carriage was attacked and the King was wounded in his arm by a bullet. The Marquês de Pombal, who, by then, had already had problems with the Távora family, and enjoying absolute power in the Kingdom, did not loose the opportunity to take revenge, accusing them of plotting against the Royal Family.
In the year of 1759 all the Távora family was executed. In the Beco do Chão Salgado, in the Street of Belém (Rua de Belém), we can still find today a pillar to pay a tribute to the family.

The initial project was conducted by Giovanni Carlo Bibienna, an Italian architect and set designer whose work was very valuated at his time, and the leading of the works was committed to Mateus Vicente de Oliveira, who, in his turn, assumed the responsibilities initially assigned to the Italian architect.

Throughout its existence, the Memorial Church (or Church of Memory) passed through several hands had different owners and uses other than worship, for example it has been used as a grain silo. Has undergone renovations and improvements, but also suffered some damage, including destruction of its dome and balustrade, the result of a lightning bolt that struck in 1985.

The Church exhibits today a gracious neo classic style, with its inside containing essentially marble, bearing a special emphasis its pinnacle and the tomb of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the notorious Marquês de Pombal.
