Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha, Religious monument in Santa Maria Maior, Portugal.

The church displays a Manueline portal with carved stone figures, two ornamental windows, and a recessed archway at its entrance.

Built between 1516 and 1534 as the Church of Misericórdia, the structure was reconstructed after the 1755 earthquake that affected most of Lisbon.

The tympanum above the entrance depicts the Virgin Mary with angels alongside representations of King Manuel and Queen Leonor of Portugal.

The church opens Monday through Friday from 09:15 to 17:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 13:00, offering visitors access to its architectural features.

The building stands in a north-south direction, contrary to traditional east-west church orientation, due to reconstruction limitations after the earthquake.
