Set in a harmonious group of typical Alentejo houses, the Torrão Parish Church stands out for its façade and Manueline portal. This three-nave church dates back to the 13th century. It was first mentioned in the 1321 inventory of the country's churches and was one of the richest, judging by the tax attributed to it: 500 pounds (it was only surpassed by three other churches).

It was rebuilt in the 16th century. The naves and the baptismal chapel were built, and in the 17th century the main chapel, side chapels and bell tower were built. The church belonged to the Order of Santiago and was located next to the palace of Grand Master D. Jorge.

Its highlights include the Mannerist lacework portico, the naves with eight octagonal marble columns and the broken arches with Manueline decoration. The main chapel has a carved altar in the national style. In the side chapels there are several interesting altarpieces of Mannerist and Baroque paintings. One of the seven chapels, dedicated to Saint Amaro, has a skirting board of Moorish tiles. There are several tombs with inscriptions from the 17th century.
