This eighteenth-century church, with an attached hospital, is in good condition. It features a single nave, sacristy, and chancel. The main altarpiece is neoclassical in style, made of pink and gray Estremoz marble.
The church was founded on an uncertain date, but it is known that it was rebuilt in the mid-17th century. Its appearance maintains its medieval design. The church has a simple portico, crowned by a pediment bearing the national coat of arms. The Renaissance-style chancel was built in 1694, with the rest of the church being Baroque. The convent houses the famous silver-inlaid reliquary of Saints Peter and Paul, a work of 15th-century goldsmithing.
