Our Lady of the Thorn-bush Convent
Our Lady of the Thorn-bush Convent
As many other monasteries and convents in Portugal, this building is now a private residence and cannot be visited.
It was built in the 15th century by the Hieronymite monks and is reached by crossing a great vaulted courtyard.
The 16th century cloister exhibits harmonius granite columns on the ground floor, and marble pillares on the second floor.
The Gothic church has a single nave.
The main chapel and the chapel of the Dead Lord are lined with panels of tiles.
It is worth admiring due to its localization and because it stands right next to the Garcia de Resende Tumular Chapel, recently restored.
