    The Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Assunção de Alvito, as it is officially known, was built in the late 13th or early 14th century and was dedicated to Santa Maria de Alvito at the time. Between 1485 and 1535, it underwent extension work, with almost all of the walls being knocked down.

    Archaeologist Jorge Feio assures us that “it is still possible to see architectural elements from the first phase.

    The extension is identical to the Igreja Matriz de Viana do Alentejo, so it may have been designed by the same architects (the Arrudas family, architects of the Court)”.

    The church was built at the end of the 13th century and underwent several extensions in the following centuries. This temple combines several styles, from Gothic to Baroque, as well as Manueline, Renaissance and Mannerism. On the south side is the bell tower, which houses a marble sundial. The interior of the church is in the shape of a cross and has three naves with vaults that feature Gothic and Renaissance elements. Much of the interior is covered in 17th-century tiles.
