History
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is the seat of the Metropolitan Patriarchate of Lisbon (Latin: Patriarchatus Metropolitæ Olisiponensis), a Latin Church patriarchal archdiocese of the Catholic Church. Its archiepiscopal see is the Patriarchal Cathedral of St. Mary Major in Lisbon. Three minor basilicas belong to the patriarchate: the Basilica of Our Lady of the Martyrs and the Basilica of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Estrela, both in Lisbon, and the Basilica of Our Lady and St. Anthony in Mafra. It also holds two World Heritage Site monasteries, the Monastery of the Hieronymites in Lisbon and the Monastery of Saint Mary of Alcobaça in Alcobaça.
