Tips
Located near Monsaraz, the Convento da Orada stands out in the Alentejo plains. Its church is linked to the name of D. Nuno Álvares Pereira, the Holy Constable who prayed here between his battles against the Castilians. The Convento da Orada was built between 1700 and 1741 and housed the Order of the Discalced Augustinians until the beginning of the 19th century. The Convento is currently managed by the Fundação do Convento da Orada, which promotes the safeguarding of the architectural, cultural and artistic heritage.

According to various booking platforms, the lavishly restored former monastery now houses a 3-star hotel. During our visit in May 2025, the entire site appeared deserted.
