Igreja de São Nicolau
A national monument of Gothic origin, it was rebuilt in 1600 in the Mannerist style after a fire destroyed the original structure. Inside, the Manueline tomb of João Afonso, founder of the city's old hospital, and the Gothic tomb of Fernão Rodrigues Redondo are also classified as national monuments. Also noteworthy are the two paintings by Bento Coelho da Silveira. The church, which includes the Chapel of St. Peter, has a 19th-century pipe organ.
