Igreja e Convento de São Francisco
Built in the 14th century, it was only in 1562 that the church became sacred. It was remodeled over the centuries, with Renaissance and Baroque details in the side chapels. At the beginning of the 20th century, its demolition was planned, but it survived as a prison and, from 1920, it was transferred to Companhia Leiriense de Moagens.
