The Church of Monsaraz, or Church of Our Lady of Lagoa, was built in the 16th century and rebuilt on two occasions, once following the earthquake of 1755 and once a century later.

This church has a façade with two towers and an ogival head. Inside, it houses a 14th-century marble tomb carved with 14 saints and where the remains of Tomás Martins rest.

Outside, next to the church, stands an 18th-century pillory (stone pillory) crowned by a Manueline globe. Opposite this pillory is the Church of Misericórdia and, next to it, the Museum of Sacred Art.

This church has a life-size wooden sculpture of Jesus carrying the cross, a wonderful piece of contemporary history.
