Antigo Convento de Nossa Senhora dos Mártires e da Conceição
Antigo Convento de Nossa Senhora dos Mártires e da Conceição, 16th-century convent in Sacavém e Prior Velho, Portugal.
The convent complex includes a church and a cloister with extensive tile decorations covering its walls and corridors.
Built in 1577 under King Sebastian's decree, the convent replaced an ancient hermitage dating back to the 12th century reign of Afonso Henriques.
The convent walls display Portuguese ceramic tiles from three centuries, representing different artistic periods from the 16th to 18th centuries.
The building remains unoccupied since 2006 when the Portuguese Army Battalion of Attachés departed from its premises.
Miguel Moura founded this convent after his wife's miraculous recovery, requesting authorization directly from Pope Gregory XIII.
