What to expect

The Santo António chapel houses the municipal sacred-art museum nucleus. Its displays place individual religious works within the wider story of Alcoutim’s churches, making it useful before or after exploring the parish church and other chapels.

This is a museum visit in a religious building rather than a promise of regular worship. It is also distinct from Nossa Senhora da Conceição, where the collection was first presented before being transferred here.
