Main Church of Our Lady of the Conception

Monument of Public Interest -

  

Located in the village of Conceição.

This medieval church was altered in the early 16th century when the village was awarded with Parish Status.

Resulting from these renovations are the triumphal arch and the vaulted main chapel displaying Manueline features.

The facade and bell tower were also rebuilt but only in the 19th century.
