Igreja de Santo António dos Olivais

In 1217, the wife of King Afonso II, Dona Urraca, gave a chapel to the Franciscans, who had just arrived in Portugal, to set up temporary quarters. From among this small community, a young man called Fernando de Bolhões, better known as St. Antonio de Lisboa or of Pádua, who took Franciscan orders, was canonised in 1232.
