Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Assuncao

This is one of the most important churches in the area, constructed in 1517, on the site of an old gothic church. The site has been modified several times over the years, most notably in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Statues, marble structures, and golden details were added. It was the headquarters of the diocese for a time, and came to be known as the Cathedral of Elvas. Although the diocese hasn't existed for over a century, it is still known by this name.
