centuries the late seventeenth century and eighteenth century the reigns of john v and joseph i had increased imports of gold and diamonds in a period called royal absolutism or absolute monarchy which allowed the portuguese baroque to flourish baroque architecture edit baroque architecture in portugal arose on a different timeline from the rest of europe and was influenced by several political artistic and economic factors 1 it begins during a complicated moment with the financial effort of the kingdom channelled to the portuguese restoration war after 60 years of iberian union another key factor is the existence of the jesuitical architecture also called plain style estilo chão clérigos church interior porto the buildings are single room basilicas deep main chapel lateral chapels with small doors for communication without interior and exterior decoration with a simple portal and windows it is a very practical building allowing it to be built throughout the empire with minor adjustments and prepared to be decorated later or when economic resources are available the first portuguese baroque does not lack in building because plain style is easy to be transformed by means of decoration painting tiling etc turning empty areas in pompous baroque scenarios the same could be applied to the exterior subsequently it is easy to adapt the building to the taste of the time and place practical and economical the international baroque edit church of santa engrácia in lisbon talha dourada gilded woodcarving biblioteca joanina 1717 1728 university of coimbra after the end of the restoration of independence war and past the crisis of succession between afonso vi and pedro ii portugal was ready for the international baroque it started gradually changing the mannerist model trying to animate and modernise the new buildings using the centred plant and some decoration such as in the church of santa engrácia in lisbon designed by joão nunes tinoco and joão antunes santa engrácia is constructed with curves and geometric forms and a centred plant and is crowned by a large dome completed only in the twentieth century decorated with colourful marbles and imposing itself to the city in the reign of king john v the baroque underwent a time of splendour and wealth completely new in portugal despite the destruction wreaked by the 1755 earthquake several buildings have survived the palácio da ribeira the royal chapel both destroyed in the earthquake and the mafra national palace are the main works of the king the águas livres aqueduct brings water to lisbon covering a distance of 11 18 miles with emphasis on the section over the alcântara valley because of the monumentality of the imposing arches however across the country are still visible marks of the pomp of the time in major or small works the gilded woodcarving 2 3 took on national characteristics because of the significance and richness of the decorations the painting sculpture decorative arts and tiling also experienced great development 4 one of the most opulent examples of gilded woodcarving from this period is the biblioteca joanina johannine library named after king john v built in the main university of coimbra old building and tower parade 5 numerous less known works exist throughout the country namely in viseu santarém and faro 6 palace of mafra edit palace of mafra mafra the
