The Hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Our Lady of the Conception) dates from the 18th century. There was a 16th century Manueline church on the site, but all that remains of the original Gothic structure is the porch. An interesting decorated baroque stairway gives access to a spacious atrium, which offers a magnificent view over the town and the surrounding fields. There is a gilded and carved baroque altarpiece with the coat of arms of Dom João IV above the altar. The hermitage also serves as a museum of sacred art.
