SÃO FRANCISCO AGREEMENT

The construction of the convent began in 1585. Partially destroyed by the Dutch in 1631, it was rebuilt during the 17th century. The architectural ensemble, today classified as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, is particularly remarkable for its cloister and sacristy covered with Portugueseazulejos representing various scenes, but also for the impressive sculptures that adorn the ceilings of the church, the sacristy and the chapel.
