The Alvor parish church is Renaissance in style (16th century) but has sections that are Manueline. The interior consists of three naves, held up by columns with ornate bases and capitals. The triumphal arch is a masterpiece, decorated with motifs and a coat of arms. There is an attractive painting of the Assumption on the high altar. The Capela do Santíssimo (Chapel of the Most Holy), boasts a high relief showing the figure of the Eternal Father and a low relief of St. Peter and St. Paul. Also noteworthy is a collection of statues and objects used in religious ceremonies.
