Today is Easter Sunday, and whoever operates the bells on the Igreja e Convento da Graça has clearly been waiting for this day with anticipation.
The bells tolled long and hard at various intervals throughout the day, to the point that we had to close the window during dinner in order to converse.
Looking up, I noticed that the giant swinging bell in the church tower was clearly visible from our balcony. Despite the poor quality of my camera (and the grinding noise its zoom makes) I managed to capture the bell in action, along with a few surrounding views.
