Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira

The collegiate church that gives Oliveira Square its name. Founded in the 10th century by the same Mumadona Dias who built the castle, then rebuilt in the 14th by King João I as thanks for victory at Aljubarrota, the church mixes Romanesque foundations with Gothic and Manueline additions.

Inside, the chapel of São Brás and the Manueline cloister are the highlights; the cloister also gives access to the Alberto Sampaio Museum, which holds the church's medieval treasury — silverwork, vestments, and the tunic João I is said to have worn into the Aljubarrota battle.
