The building<\/h2>\n

Placed in Serra d\u2019Ossa, between Estremoz and Redondo, the S\u00e3o Paulo Convent is now a sophisticated space and a must-visit. Built in 1182, in the heart of Alentejo, by the S\u00e3o Paulo Ermita Monk Order, it is one of the most iconic buildings of its time, once it still perfectly preserves some of its original features.<\/p>\n

True legends of the Portuguese History walked through its rooms and corridors, such as D. Sebasti\u00e3o, D. Jo\u00e3o IV and D. Catarina de Bragan\u00e7a. A good example of that is the canvas restored by the National Museum of Ancient Art of Lisbon, placed in the Convent\u2019s Library, which proofs that D.Sebasti\u00e3o’s visited this space, in the late 1577.<\/p>\n

Tiles<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The walls of the Convento de S\u00e3o Paulo are made up by 54 thousand tiles. Known as the largest private collection in the country, the cobalt blue that covers the convent’s corridors and staircases date back to the reigns of D. Jo\u00e3o V (1706-1750) and D. Jos\u00e9 I (1750-1777), and shapes a monumental ensemble produced by the best workshops in Lisbon.
Part of this collection was commissioned by patrons for specific spaces in the Convent, such as those in Capela do Bispo where it is possible to recognize the signature of Ant\u00f3nio de Oliveira Bernardes, or those in the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, whose authorship belongs to Gabriel del Barco. However, most panels are the work of an unknown author, who only signed with the monogram of P.M.P and is behind an outstanding work of craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

Fountains and Terracotta<\/h2>\n

The Florentine fountains are another icon of the Convent and can be found both inside and outside. The Lion Fountain, next to the main entrance, was a destination for pilgrimages for several years. In the Four Seasons Garden, lies the Fountain of the Dragon, classified as a National Monument. The Portaria Nova (New Entrance) is where it is possible to find the Fountain of Dolphins, which dates back to the second half of the 18th\u00a0century. The Garden of Novices is another of the Convent’s iconic spaces. Also adorned with a fountain, the Terracotta features a highlighted position, with sculptures that can be found in its niches, from the 19th\u00a0century.<\/p>\n
