Ermida de Santo Estêvão / Ermida do Espírito Santo
This is one of the oldest chapels of Beja, founded in the end of the XIII century as the vault of the knight Estêvão Vasques. In 1915 it was given to Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Beja, and ended up as a barn. In 1940 it was restored and reopened to cult. It is a chapel with a single nave and main chapel, totally arched, a characteristic of the gothic style during D. Dinis period, with French- Burgundian influence. During the Baroque period the façade was enriched and in the beginning of the XX century some neo-gothic elements were introduced, such as furniture.
