The Church of Our Lady of Conception is known locally as the Royal Basilica. It was built on the orders of King João V (1706-1750) on the site of a much earlier chapel. The Basílica Real is currently the parish church of Castro Verde and is well worth visiting. The single nave is completely covered in azuelo tiles, which show an impressive depiction of the Battle of Batalha de Ourique. The Royal Basilica Collection of fine art is accessed from inside the church. Guided tours are available but need to be pre-booked.
