Monuments

The Convent of Capuchos (Capuchins) was founded in the 16th century although the church is believed to be a 17th century construction. It follows the pattern of Franciscan convent buildings in and around Monção, featuring a longitudinal layout with a single nave preceded by a narthex with a broken arch and upper choral chambers.

The interior features Baroque, rococo and neo-classical influences. In one of the lateral walls, there is an unusual early 20th century chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes that recreates the cave scenario where the apparition took place.

From the main chapel, there is access to the sacristy and some interesting 12th century pieces such as Tenebrist paintings and an impressive chest of drawers with iron fittings.
