The convent and castle complex is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983.

Largo do Pelourinho
The Convent of the Order of Christ needed a water supply, and the answer was to construct this magnificent six-kilometre aqueduct to conduct water from the four springs at Pegões.
The project began in the 1590s and was planned by the Italian military architect Filipe Terzio who had been hired by the Portuguese crown.
