Franciscan convent built in direct contact with nature and in accordance with a philosophy of extreme architectural and decorative simplicity. The Convent of the Capuchos, small in size and notable for the extreme poverty of its construction, is also known as the “Cork Convent”, given the extensive use of cork in the protection and decoration of its small spaces.
