IGREJA DE NOSSA SENHORA DA CONCEIÇÃO

The Church of Our Lady of the Conception, dating from the 16th century and located near the Largo da Misericórdia, was redesigned by the architect Fernandes Vieria as a shelter for abandoned women. Its façade features a cross surrounded by obelisks. The arcaded portico in the Franciscan style is quite remarkable. The interior has a beautifully painted ceiling from the second half of the 18th century, as well as figurative tile panels.
