The Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Lapa was founded by the Carmelites in 1756 on the orders of the archbishop of Évora, D. Frei Miguel de Távora and was designed by the architect, José Francisco de Abreu. The Sanctuary is a fine example of Baroque style with original, breezy lines which are extremely well executed in the main doorway. The interior of the church has a fine decorated panel in the main chapel. Other highlights include the bars of the transept, the pulpit of the nave and the rococo basin.
