Conventinho Farm

Conventinho Farm is an agricultural estate built across multiple levels with a central cloister that connects residential areas, offices, and a museum within the same grounds. The property includes gardens with fruit trees, an olive grove, and several water fountains distributed throughout.

The property was founded in 1573 as a Franciscan convent under the patronage of Luis de Castro do Rio. It became state property in 1834 following the dissolution of religious communities.

The Museum of Loures occupies the former convent buildings and displays exhibitions about the region's heritage and local traditions. Visitors can experience the architectural character that has been preserved within these spaces.

The property provides restrooms, a cafeteria, and walking areas throughout its gardens for visitors. Comfortable shoes are recommended as the grounds spread across multiple levels.

The property contains a cylindrical dovecote that was later converted into a water storage facility. A decorative Lion Fountain with a small pond forms a distinctive focal point within the grounds.
