Igreja e antigo Convento de Nossa Senhora da Boa Hora
Igreja e antigo Convento de Nossa Senhora da Boa Hora, Augustinian convent in Ajuda, Portugal.
The building features stone walls, arched windows, and a central courtyard that follows traditional Portuguese religious architectural patterns.
Founded in 1663, the convent marked the arrival of the Discalced Augustinian Order in Portugal, establishing their first presence in Lisbon.
The convent represents the practices of Discalced Augustinian friars, who adopted sandals and rough wool garments as symbols of their commitment.
The building, now operated by the Ministry of National Defense, maintains regular opening hours and includes informational panels about its history.
The structure demonstrates the transition from religious to military use, with architectural modifications reflecting both ecclesiastical and defense purposes.
