Convento de São Francisco de Évora
The Church of São Francisco in Évora is a church of Gothic-Manueline architecture. Built between 1480 and 1515 by stone masters Martim Lourenço and Pero de Trilho and decorated by royal painters Francisco Henriques, Jorge Afonso and Garcia Fernandes, it is closely linked to the historical events that marked the period of maritime expansion in Portugal. This is evident in the symbols of the monumental nave of the ogival vault: the cross of the Order of Christ and the emblems of the founding kings, D. João II and D. Manuel I.
Building from the 15th and 16th centuries, in Manueline-Mudejar and Renaissance style, built to replace a previous Gothic temple, of which some remains still remain. The Royal Palace was annexed and was considered a Royal Church, in which important ceremonies took place, with the wedding of Prince D. Afonso with D. Isabel de Castela, in 1490.
