Building classified as a National Monument since 1910.

This was the first Franciscan convent founded in Portugal and underwent several changes over time, such as the construction of a new church, completed in 1355.

The convent was always venerated and protected by the Crown, as a convent under royal possession.

In 1580 D. António, prior of Crato, was recognized here as king of Portugal.

The Convent suffered damage that was difficult to repair following the earthquakes of 1531, 1755 and the last one of 1969. Construction and repair work on the damaged areas were completed in 1986, almost 10 years after the work began. In October 1986, the temple was opened for worship

Church built in the 16th century is another building that was redesigned after the 1755 earthquake.

Several details stand out in the interior, such as the baptismal font from 1561, the blue and white tiles and the paintings on the ceiling.

Over the years, this church served as a hospital as well as a theater.

The interior renovation of this museum was completed at the end of 2018 and it reopened to the public in February 2019.

This basilica was built by the brotherhood of Saint Quitéria of Mecca, in the middle of the 18th century.

It is located a few kilometers away from Alenquer.

Santa Quitéria is known for its architectural approximation to the Mafra convent and a notable stylistic approximation to the Basílica da Estrela.

Inside, you can admire several paintings and the organ dating from 1816.

In the front of the church it is annually celebrated the blessing of the cattle, a tradition followed by the residents of the parish.
