Already existed in the decade of 1270, knowing that in 1272 its custody belonged to Lisbon, passing only to that of Evora in 1330, the year in which it was created. There is also an interesting document of 1277 which refers to a dispute between them and the friars of the Order of Avis during the construction of the convent. There is also a chronicle reference of the fourteenth century that indicates its existence in Estremoz in the 1230s but that is not proven by other sources.
The interior has a rectangular floor plan, three naves and five sections. The Gothic verticality proves its medieval foundation, and the decorative elements of this period are of a naturalistic, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic feature. From the baroque period is the Tree of Jesse, from the reign of King John IV (1640-1656). It was paid by the Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary in 1652. This rare gold-toned altarpiece corresponds to one of the three beautiful examples that still exist in Portugal.
Address: Largo Dragões de Olivença
In this church are buried some illustrious figures of the Portuguese History, like D. Fradique of Portugal; Vasco Pereira, brother of D. Nuno Álvares Pereira, killed to treason in the castle of Vila Viçosa; the judge of the palace António Henriques da Silveira. According to the chronicle of Fernão Lopes, King D. Pedro I (1357-1367) also died in Estremoz, and is believed to have perished concretely in this convent.
In relation to the tomb Trecentista of Vasco Esteves de Gatuz, is a great example of the second half of century XIV. Made of marble from the region, it has on top a male figure lying down that represents the squire. Laterally there are several zoomorphic and anthropomorphic motifs, corresponding to the imaginary of the time. Of great interest are also the scenes of falconry represented here.
Hours: Every day from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
