Igreja Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, the parish church of Castro Marim, was built in the 18th century on the site of a former hermitage. Although primitive in structure, the interior is beautiful. One of its main features is the 15th century statue of the Archangel Gabriel. Other noteworthy sights in the main and lateral chapels include the 16th century statue of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação e dos Mártires and the 18th-century statue of Santa Luzia. An annual festivity devoted to the Martyrs (the Christians who settled here during the Reconquest) has been held since the sixth century on August 15.
