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.

Built in the early 17th century under King Philip II of Portugal for the Commendadoras of the Order of Santiago, the convent was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake and later restored. After religious orders were extinguished in 1834, the Honorary Commendadoras of the Order of Saint James of the Sword remained until the Republic was proclaimed on 5 October 1910.

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 stands at Calçada Cruz da Pedra 44 in the Penha de França parish. It now belongs to the Recolhimentos, not the Misericórdia de Lisboa. The classified set covers the church, the square cloister and the walled garden grounds, so look for the entrance that gives access to the church and cloister together.

The convent was never finished, so the square cloister's full extent was never realised. Its galleries of round arches hold the Chapels of Senhor dos Passos and of the Encarnação, both lined with carved woodwork, statuary and azulejo tiles. The building now belongs to the Recolhimentos.
