RE: Church of St. Dominic, Lisbon.

I think it's a way to remember the tragic event and at the same time carry on with life... that's my free interpretation of why just the roof was built and the columns stayed in that burned state. But I am not a guide so I might be wrong :D
Cool pace anyway :)

It probably is. Now everyone can ask why is it like that and go find out.
I am guessing that the roof completely collapsed and there was nothing to save. The columns and few other bits could be the only things still standing.
Cool indeed :)

Yes, the roof completely collapsed, if I remember well from the photos in the description in the church.
