Convento de São Francisco, Medieval monastery in Santarém, Portugal.
The convent features three naves, a prominent transept, and a chancel with five chapels arranged in a cross-shaped layout following Gothic architecture.
King Sancho II established this Franciscan convent in 1242, and King Fernando I later enhanced its structure with a lower choir and large cloister.
The architectural elements represent different periods, including Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline styles, reflecting Portuguese architectural evolution through centuries.
The convent opens from 10:00 to 19:00 during summer and 10:00 to 18:00 in winter, remaining closed on Mondays and holidays.
The burial chapel of the Menezes family displays Mannerist additions, while the Santa Ana Chapel contains a Renaissance arch with detailed decorative elements.
