Capela do Senhor dos Passos
It has a peculiar location, as it is surrounded by two houses on a street close to the main church and the city center. Built in the 16th century, this chapel, of Manueline religious architecture, is attached to a manor house with internal communication through the upper choir. Its most notable features are the quartered coat of arms, the 16th-century portal, the triumphal arch, and the coffered vault. In 1808, it is believed to have sheltered Junot's troops during the French Invasions.
