| Ermida de Santa Luzia - [Alvito, Beja, Portugal] |  Edificada possivelmente no início do século XVI, fazendo um reaproveitamento de um morabito, a Ermida de Santa Luzia é um pequeno templo rural situado no perímetro de Alvito.
A sua construção data do período de evangelização dos padres trinos na região, tendo sido possivelmente patrocinada por D. Diogo Lobo da Silveira, conde de Alvito.
O pequeno templo é constituído por dois corpos distintos, correspondentes à ermida e ao alpendre. O alpendre de alvenaria caiada, edificado no século XVII, é aberto por três arcadas plenas.
O corpo principal, de planta quadrada, é coberto por uma cúpula cónica, revestida de um conjunto de pintura mural, executada no século XVII pela oficina de José de Escovar, representando figuras de santos e anjos músicos, enquadrados por ferroneries e cartelas.
