    The Convent of Our Lady of the Star is a 15th-century Franciscan monastery. Founded in 1448 by Pope Nicholas V, the monastery was built on the site of a chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Estrela. It is located on the periphery of Marvão's city walls.

    A late 15th-century Manueline cross stands in the churchyard, with a spiral column containing figures of Christ and Nossa Senhora da Piedade.

    The complex now functions as a nursing home, run by Santa Casa da Misericirdia, which provides care for elderly residents of the region.
