Inaugurated in 1497, the convent was founded at the instigation of João Gonçalves da Câmara, one of Zarco's sons. Today it is the home of a small community of Franciscan sisters composed of about twenty nuns. There you will learn that each sister had her own chapel for recollection. The most splendid of them, on the first floor, is adorned with magnificent azulejos with camellia motifs. Part of the convent has now been transformed into a school. Its church, covered with polychrome azulejos, is well worth a visit.

La visite est brève mais intéressante, et le couvent vraiment beau, ainsi que l'église attenante ! A ne pas manquer :)

C'est un couvent toujours en activité qui est visitable qu'à une certaine période de l'année. La visite ne se fait qu'accompagné d'un guide. Le couvent est magnifique et la guide "essaye" de parler français (et croit le faire bien :-/). C'est un peu compliqué de la suivre au début mais après on arrive à peu près à s'y faire même si on est sûr d'avoir raté des infos ... On peut néanmoins profiter de l'intérieur du couvent qui est à couper le souffle (surtout l'église) !
