1 review of Penha de França Convent

The most beautiful pulpit in Portugal

This convent is in Central Av, in front of the Totus Tuus Monument, although it originated in the seventeenth century, the current building dates from the XIX century. The Penha Convent was founded by a couple of devotees, Pedro Aguiar and his wife Maria Vieira, as a gathering place for women, virgins and widows, who lived under the rule of San Francisco. Then it was converted into the Convent of the Order of the Immaculate Conception, and later into a Capuchin Convent. Outwardly it may go unnoticed, since the only highlight is the stone roof that stands on a bland white wall that forms the façade.

It has a heraldic shield and is topped by a triangular pediment that has a niche with the image of the Virgin. However, that say that inside has the most beautiful pulpit in Portugal, I could not visit it.
