Convento de São Francisco de Xabregas, Religious convent and theatre in Beato, Portugal.
The stone building features a monumental facade with a main portico crowned by the coat of arms of King José I of Portugal.
Queen Isabel donated funds in 1455 for the construction of this convent, which was completed in 1460 with nine friars from Terceira Island.
The Teatro Ibérico has operated in the former church space since November 1980, offering regular theatrical performances and cultural events.
The building currently houses both the theatre and a professional training media center managed by the Institute for Employment and Professional Training.
Before becoming a convent, the location contained a royal palace called Enxobregas, which had fallen into ruins in the 15th century.
