Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição

Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição is a church in Ermida, Portugal, featuring a single nave with a simple exterior facade. Inside stands a gilded wooden altarpiece from the 18th century.

The church building dates from the second half of the 12th century and was founded by French monk D. Roberto of the Premonstratensian Order. Its origins are tied to this monastic religious tradition.

The interior displays religious artifacts from the 18th century, including glazed tiles with religious themes. The painted ceiling from the 19th century shapes the visual experience of the space.

The building maintains seasonal opening hours with access on specific weekdays. Planning ahead before your visit helps you know when to expect to enter.

Archaeological excavations nearby revealed remains of an Islamic fortification, including a medieval town gate beneath the current building. These findings show the layered history of the site before its Christian use.
