Padroeira de Portugal National Sanctuary

The national shrine of the Patron Saint of Portugal is located within the medieval walls of the town castle, above the old Gothic chapel of Our Lady of the Castle. On March 25, 1646, Our Lady of the Conception was proclaimed patroness of Portugal. Since 1820 the Portuguese queens costumes have been used to dress the image of the patron.

The temple is divided into three naves and seven chapels: Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, Holy Trinity Chapel, Chapel of St. Joseph, which highlights the altarpiece gilded in gold, the Chapel of the Holy Name of Jesus, Shrine of Our Lady of Carmen, Chapel of Peter and the chapel, with an altarpiece that has been gilded in eighteenth century gold and a niche with the image of the Patron Saint of Portugal.
