Capela de Nossa Senhora dos Mártires
A 14th-century Gothic temple with flying buttresses and a porch. Its floor plan consists of a horizontal articulation of the apse with the nave, built entirely of finely cut marble ashlar, with a nave covered by a gable roof supported by flying buttresses with a pendentive cornice and a perfect arch span. The portico stands out, a simple pointed-arch span framed in beveled ashlar, flanked by tiled wainscoting. Also worthy of special attention is the apse with a polygonal front of two bays marked by buttresses, which also finish the radial axes. The interior is lined with 18th-century historiated tiles.
