  Convento do Espinheiro View    

The Convento do Espinheiro is a luxurious hotel located in Évora - classified by UNESCO as a "World Heritage City". The building was originally a convent dating back to the XV century, and considered a national monument. The origins of the Convento do Espinheiro are connected to a legend that tells of an apparition of the Virgin Mary above a thorn-bush (espinheiro) around the year 1400. In 1412, an oratory was built in honour of Our Lady and finally in 1458, during the reign of King Afonso V, and due to increasing pilgrimage, a church and convent were built and settled by monks of the Order of St. Jerónimo.
