Convento da Tomina, 17th-century convent in Santo Aleixo da Restauração, Portugal
The Convento da Tomina stands near the Portuguese-Spanish border, featuring stone walls and religious architectural elements from its construction period.
Manuel de Jesus Maria initiated the convent's construction in 1686, with local residents helping to clear rocky terrain for the building foundation.
The convent received an image of Nossa Senhora das Necessidades from Isabel Xara de Moura, which became central to local religious practices.
The structure maintains its original position at coordinates 38° 04′ 26″ N latitude and 7° 02′ 47″ W longitude in the Moura municipality.
King Pedro II gifted the convent special Chinese-made liturgical vestments, including chasubles and shoulder veils, as compensation for initial destruction plans.
