The Santa Ana Convent was a former Benedictine religious house and is now the Hospital da Caridade. It is located opposite the town hall in the Rua de Navarro. First built in the 16th century, it has a Manueline tower and was altered in the 17th and the 18th centuries. The sculptures, tiles and painted ceilings date from these subsequent alterations, as do the intricately carved and gilded wooden altarpieces which are examples of the talha dorada style. The current façade is the result of more recent alterations.
