Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Lapa
A Carmelite sanctuary, founded in 1756 on the orders of the archbishop of Évora, D. Frei Miguel de Távora. The sanctuary was designed by the architect, José Francisco de Abreu, and is a fine example of Barroque style with original, breezy lines which are extremely well executed in the main doorway.
The notable elements of the interior of the church include a fine decorated panel in the main chapel, the bars of the transept, the pulpit of the nave and the rococo basin.
The feast of the Patron Saint is held on December 8.
