Igreja de São Francisco
A single-nave church preceded by a large galilee with a Mudejar-style finish, built in 1463 by the Duke of Beja (Infante D. Ferdinand) for the Xabregano friars. It was rebuilt during the reign of King Manuel. Notable are the recessed, coffered vaults of the galilee, chancel, cloister, and chapter house. Also note the unusual layout of the small cloister and the 17th-century tiles.
