Largo de Santo António

Senhor Jesus do Bonfim Chapel, former Anjo da Guarda Chapel

Built during the 17th century and worked on during the 18th century.

This chapel was one of the most important places of worship south of the Tagus River. The chapel was the center of the pilgrimage of the citadels from Aldeia Galega (Montijo), Paio Pires, Seixal, Arrentela, Alcochete, Samouco, Saloios and Alfama. Celebrations were carried out and people would flock over when there was some type of disaster.

The chapel is at the origin of the sanctuary of the same name as the one in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

Praça do Vitória Futebol Clube

Church and Monastery of Jesus

Inaugurated at the end of the 15th century, they form the oldest and most monumental architectural complex in the city. It is considered one of the first Manueline buildings. The part of the convent became defunct in 1890, making way for the Miserdericórdia hospital (1895-1959) and it also became a museum in 1961 – Museu de Setúbal (Setúbal Museum).
At the present moment it is not possible to visit the premises due to works of requalification.
