Inner walls of the church are lined with blue tiles, which gives it a beautiful romantic look, although from the outside it may seem as if it is nothing special at all.

It is Albufeira's Igreja Matriz that has a two-level facade, decorated portal and gable, and interesting paintings keeping inside.

The shrine of Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hermitage is another beautiful religious monument. Like other churches of the region, it does not attract much attention from the outside, but inside you can find the real treasure - especially striking is an unusual altar with gilded carvings.

The church is small, as befits other shrines in the region, but definitely worth a visit.
