Mosteiro de São Bernardo
Built in 1530, the temple underwent several alterations, mainly during the 18th century. From the original design, it retains the giants that support the main chapel. It features a round-arched portico with cherubs. Inside, one can see the tomb of Jorge Melo, dating from 1540, one of the most sumptuous in Portugal.
