Nearby, the Convento de São Francisco is even older. Built in 1577, it was the first Franciscan convent in the country. It is open to the public and has beautiful garden areas. N.S. da Neves chapel, within the convent, has scenes from the life of Jesus depicted in blue Portuguese tiles. The walls are constructed of crushed coral and there are frescoed ceilings.
