What to expect
Santo António dos Capuchos shows how a simple church exterior can conceal a much richer artistic collection. The church is associated with a distinctive group of life-size terracotta figures illustrating episodes connected with Saint Anthony.
It is worth treating this as a deliberate church stop rather than expecting a large surviving convent. The surrounding religious history is best understood through the artworks and church itself, with interior viewing dependent on the local custodian’s arrangements.
