Convento de São Francisco, Portimão
Convento de São Francisco, Portimão, 16th-century Franciscan monastery ruins in Portimão, Portugal.
The complex consists of interconnected two-story buildings, including a church dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Esperança and a Mannerist cloister.
Founded in 1530 by Simão Correia, captain of Azamor, the monastery housed Franciscan monks until 1834 when religious orders were abolished in Portugal.
The architectural elements combine Mannerist and Manueline styles, with the church representing the oldest section of the religious complex.
Located on Estrada da Rocha 8500 in Portimão, the privately owned property does not permit public access to its grounds.
The monastery includes a former small anchorage point, making it accessible by water during its active religious period.
