The Igreja de Santa Maria was enlarged in the 16th and 17th centuries but like so many churches in the Algarve suffered damage in the 1755 earthquake.
The fine, decorative portal, however, escaped the destruction and dates to 1612.
Relatively plain inside, the church exudes a calm and spiritual atmosphere.
