Convento de Santos-o-Novo, Religious convent in Penha de França, Portugal.
The convent features a large square cloister with round arches leading to chapels decorated with marble elements and gilded woodwork throughout its structure.
Construction began in the early 17th century during the reign of Philip II for the Commendators of the Order of Santiago, with restoration after 1755 earthquake.
The church walls display ceramic tile panels depicting the lives of the Martyr Saints, combining religious narratives with Portuguese decorative arts.
