The setting
Convent Square Lisbon, Vignette Collection, is housed in a restored 13th-century Dominican convent at Rua Dom Antão de Almada 4, steps from Rossio — Praça Dom Pedro IV — the medieval square that has anchored Lisbon's civic life since the 13th century. The open-air cloister, 17th-century azulejos, and original tombstones grant guests eight hundred years of unmediated history within a luxury setting. The Santa Justa Lift and historic Tram 28 are each five minutes on foot; the Carmo Archaeological Museum eight minutes; and the grand Praça do Comércio ten minutes downhill. Sitting at the junction of Pombaline grid and medieval topography, this Baixa address is the most historically resonant in the city for a discerning traveller.
