Tips

Fernando Cintra

The Convent of Nossa Senhora do Desterro, located in Monchique, Algarve, Portugal, was founded in 1631. This Franciscan convent suffered severe damage in the 1755 earthquake and, after the extinction of religious orders in Portugal, was sold in parts and fell into ruin. . The complex included a monumental magnolia, deceased in 2016, which was a local landmark. Although in an advanced state of degradation, the convent continues to be an important element of Monchique's historical and cultural heritage.
