Built in the second half of the 16th century, the São Roque Church is a Catholic church, dedicated to São Roque, which is architecturally characterised by its simplicity. It once belonged to the Society of Jesus, being the first church in Portugal and considered one of the first Jesuit churches in the world. With the expulsion of the Jesuits from Portugal in 1768, both the church and the auxiliary residence were given to Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa.
