Convento de Santos-o-Novo
Convento de Santos-o-Novo, Religious convent in Penha de França, Portugal.
Convento de Santos-o-Novo is a monastery in Lisbon built around a large square cloister featuring rounded arches. The surrounding chapels contain marble decorative elements and gilded woodwork.
Construction started in the early 1600s for the Commendators of the Order of Santiago during a period of significant religious building activity. The structure was reconstructed following the 1755 earthquake.
The church walls display ceramic tile panels depicting the lives of the Martyr Saints, merging religious narratives with traditional Portuguese decorative arts. Visitors can observe how these artworks are arranged throughout the interior spaces.
The convent is located on Calçada Cruz da Pedra and is now administered by Misericórdia de Lisboa. You can explore the original church and cloister spaces during your visit.
The cloister is among the largest on the Iberian Peninsula and houses the Chapels of Senhor dos Passos and Encarnação with intricate sculptural work. These spaces display craftsmanship details rarely seen elsewhere.
