Capela e Convento das Flamengas
Capela e Convento das Flamengas, Religious complex in Alcântara, Portugal
The Capela e Convento das Flamengas features a combination of Mannerist and Baroque architectural elements within its church and former convent structures.
Established in 1582, the convent provided refuge for Flemish nuns fleeing religious persecution, under the supervision of architect Nicolau de Frias.
The interior of the church contains a collection of paintings by Bento Coelho da Silveira, along with late Baroque gilded woodwork and original tiles.
The Real Irmandade de Nossa Senhora da Quietação maintains the church section, while the Portuguese government owns the remaining convent buildings.
In 2020, the Pontifical Council for Culture granted sponsorship for conservation projects, emphasizing the historical connection between Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands.
