Hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Conceição
Hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, National Monument church in São João Baptista, Portugal.
The Hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Conceição stands on an elevated platform near Tomar Castle, featuring three naves and Corinthian columns supporting a vaulted ceiling.
Construction of the hermitage began in 1535 during Anthony of Padua's priorship and reached completion in 1573 under Friar Basílio's administration.
The building incorporates geometric patterns, floral motifs, and statues that represent themes of resurrection and mortality throughout its interior spaces.
The structure underwent extensive reinforcement of its central vault and roofing between 1933 and 1934, followed by accessibility improvements from 1965 to 1970.
This religious edifice was designed as a funerary pantheon for King John III of Portugal, containing tombs for both the monarch and Queen Catherine.
