Graça convent featuring a portal with monolithic polished marble columns topped by capitals decorated with plant motifs.

The Convento da Graça, once a Franciscan monastery, was founded with the aim of evangelizing the Moorish population of the Algarve. The friars lived there until 1580, when Cardinal D. Henrique gave the convent to the Order of Saint Augustine. It was declared a national monument in 1924. The portal is the best preserved element: it has monolithic columns in polished marble topped by capitals decorated with plant motifs. The last archivolt is sculpted with stylized flowers, and on which is a five-pointed Signum Salomonis star.
