Convento de São Pedro de Alcântara

The Baroque main church at Convento Sao Pedro de Alcantara

The Baroque main church at Convento Sao Pedro de Alcantara

This convent is small in size but grand in baroque decor. The inconspicuous box-like facade hides a chapel (1690s), and a church (1681) that survived the 1755 earthquake and is greatly ornamented, with blue-and-white tile-covered walls and intricate Italian-inspired marble floors. Access is through the side door. Guided English tours (€2.50) go deeper on Fridays at 3pm.
