Igreja do Convento de São Francisco

The transept has an elongated rectangular floor plan, with the Latin cross-shaped transept. All that remains of the transept is the polygonal apse on the south side. The façade is divided into two sections and topped by a triangular pediment with an undulating cornice on the sides. Notable is the architrave divided by three wide pilasters, with rectangular windows with a triangular cornice on the upper section and similar porticoes on the ground floor. Inside, the nave has five sections, separated from the galleries by solid ashlar walls, punctuated by tall, pointed-arched openings with two archivolts. Notable on the gallery's side wall are the portico of the Chapel of Dom Fradique, the crossing, which opens on all four sides with arches similar to those of the nave, and the chancel, with a half-barrel vault with masonry coffers and a matching triumphal arch. On the altar at the back of the south arm of the transept, a gilded carved tree of Jesse stands out.
