Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Anunciação is also known as Igreja Matriz de Mértola and has a significant importance: it's the only medieval mosque still standing in the whole country. Built as such in the 12th Century, was converted to Catholic Church one century later, when the Christians took over the Muslims in Mértola.
The last works on the church, which established what you will see now, took place in the 16th Century. It was classified as National Heritage in 1910.
