Convento e Igreja de Santo António
This building was built by Manuel Lopes, first judge of the Confraria de Santo António, and by D. João Lobo, eighth baron of Alvito. Inside it is possible to observe the 17th century tile ceiling, highlighting the flowers and birds. Also, noteworthy is the mural painting on the chancel's barrel vault. This painting depicts an episode from the life of the Patron Saint. It is also worth highlighting the Mannerist pictorial set of oil on wood.
