Located in a hermitage near Castelo Branco, this late-Gothic church was built by friars of the Order of the Temple. The entrance portal and the two lateral ones are ogival, while the interior features different tiles, of Hispano-Arabic origin, and records of frescoes. It comprises a single nave and an apsidal chapel, having been the subject of major works between the 17th and 19th centuries.
