Synopsis

The São Roque church and the adjacent buildings were the first Casa da Companhia de Jesus in Lisbon and the first, built from scratch, in the world. Founded in the century. XVI, in the context of Counter-Reformation, the Society of Jesus has always unequivocally condemned the practice of the Game. It is ironic that it is exactly in what was his first House that the Social Games of the Portuguese State are based. What happened so that it was in this complex, at the end of the century. XVIII, that the first legal lottery in Portugal was extracted? A practice that, under the auspices of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, has been substantially extended to the present day.
