Church of Our Lady of Conception

The Church of Our Lady was founded in 1476 and is built in the Portuguese Gothic style similar to the Batalha Monastery, and as is the case with many churches in the Algarve region (a tourist area in Portugal) it was destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, and was restored in the construction work that continued throughout the eighteenth century Until the nineteenth century, including the altar, which is made of walnut wood. The features and characteristics that survived the earthquake together with the new additions to this church made it of great historical interest and made a real blend of different architectural styles.
