Villa Romana de São Cucufate / Ruínas do Convento de São Cucufate / Ruínas de Santiago
Also known as ruins of Santiago, it was initially a Roman villa with origins from the 1st century, altered in the first half of the 2nd century and destroyed in the 4th century, to make way for the building visible today. In the Middle Ages it was the Convent of the Military Order of Santiago, having been abandoned in the 16th century. The central body is framed by two symmetrical turrets that give it great monumentality.
