Up on the hilltop of Alfama, the church/convent of Nuestra Senorha da Graca (Our lady of Grace) is crowning.

An imposing and well maintained building gleaming in the sunshine.

Below  this marvellous rococo building, in the narrow streets and alleys, there has been no money allocated for maintenance.

Alas.
