Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Assunção da Boa Nova, Gothic fortress-church in Terena, Portugal
The Sanctuary features a cruciform layout surrounded by defensive structures, including ogival arch porticos and granite stonework with a discrete bell tower.
Queen Maria, wife of Alfonso XI of Castile, commissioned the construction of this sanctuary in the 14th century following the Portuguese victory at the Battle of Salado.
The sanctuary holds the oldest pilgrimage in Alentejo region, taking place on Easter Sunday and Monday, with a candlelight procession carrying the Virgin's image.
Located in Terena, São Pedro, the sanctuary maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours through its medieval architecture and religious artifacts.
The interior displays 19th-century mural paintings depicting Alentejo popular devotion, alongside 18th-century gilded woodwork altars and 16th-century Mannerist altarpiece.
