The interior contains Manueline style decor, such as the elaborate 15th and 16th century stained glass windows.
The limestone exterior displays rows of stone sculptures along with ribbons and borders of delicately etched stonework.
Though the once gray exterior has yellowed through time, the convent is well preserved and contains lavish historical treasures.
