| Church of Santo António dos Olivais |
In 1217, the wife of King Afonso II, Dona Urraca, gave a chapel to the Franciscans, who had just arrived in Portugal, to set up temporary quarters.
Among this small community, one who took Franciscan orders was the young Fernando de Bolhões, better known as St. Anthony of Lisbon or Padua, who was canonised in 1232. The present church, from the 18th century, is Baroque in style. Inside, the single nave is lined with 18th-century blue and white tiles depicting the life of the saint.
