Meet the Brotherhood and its history
The Lapa Church houses the heart of D. Pedro IV and one of the most beautiful pipe organs in the Iberian Peninsula. Its cemetery is the oldest Portuguese romantic cemetery and is the last resting place of outstanding personalities of the city and the country. And it keeps, not only the body, but the revolver with which the writer Camilo Castelo Branco committed suicide.
The Collections
The collection of the Lapa Brotherhood concerns, above all, the heritage that, over the years, was donated to the Brotherhood by its benefactors.
The Brotherhood’s collections are made up of painting, sculpture, ceramics, liturgical implements, and other objects of a heterogeneous nature, such as furniture, stamps, letters, photographs, musical instruments, jewelry, among others.
