Mexilhoeira Grande is an old village, traditionally dependent on agriculture and the resources of the Ria de Alvor. The parish church is Renaissance in style (16th century), but has two side doors that are Manueline. The main doorway is sombre, with a triangular pediment. The interior consists of three naves, held up by columns with ornate bases and capitals. The triumphal arch is decorated with motifs from the world of nature and a coat of arms. The Capela do Santíssimo has a high relief showing the figure of the Eternal Father and a low relief of St. Peter and St. Paul.
