The western end of the castle precinct is occupied by the former Convent of Santiago, built in the 15th C. but subsequently much altered. Nowadays part of it is a pousada. The convent church, in a style transitional between Romanesque and Gothic, has beautiful azulejo decoration (17th and 18th C.) in the interior, and contains the tomb of Jorge de Lencastre (14811550), a natural son of King Joao II.
