Convento do Desagravo do Santíssimo Sacramento
The former Convento do Desagravo do Santíssimo Sacramento stands in Vila Pouca da Beira, Portugal. It was founded in the second half of the eighteenth century and is protected as a monument of public interest. The complex has since been adapted for hotel use.
Convento do Desagravo — a convent adapted for a new use
From the paved forecourt, the church and the adjoining convent ranges can be read together. Their entrances still suggest different ways into the complex.
The Portuguese heritage register records the foundation of the convent in the second half of the eighteenth century. The presidential archive documents the inauguration of the pousada in 2002. Looking at the church frontage and the adjoining range together helps explain how a religious complex could be adapted for accommodation.
