The Convent of Santo António was founded in 1463 under the patronage of Infante D. Fernando, brother of D. Afonso V, and was reconstructed by King D. Manuel I in 1502. The cylindrical buttresses with conical finishes in the Manueline-Mudejar style, which is so prevalent in southern Portugal, are distinguishing characteristics of this church.
The Pousada Convento Beja is a hotel housed in the former Convent of São Francisco de Beja. This site is part of the Pousadas de Portugal network which offers accommodation in historic buildings all over the country.
The Municipal Museum of Sacred Art of Moura has been housed since 2004 in the former Church of St. Peter (Igreja de São Pedro). It has a collection of more than one hundred pieces, dating from the 5th century to the present day.
