Founded in the 16th century by Franciscan friars, with the help of the Duke of Aveiro. The white of the building stands our from the green of the Arrábida hills, and its architecture blends easily with its natural surroundings. It comprises 40 tiny cells, a small refectory, a kitchen, library and the church.
Close to the convent are several cabins (stations of the Cross), the Bom Jesus chapel and the Old Convent - the cells inhabited by the 1st community: Today it belongs to the Fundação Oriente and functions as a Conference Centre.
