context_page_description: The Convent of São Francisco is a monastery in the civil parish of Estremoz, in the municipality of Estremoz, in the Portuguese district of Évora.
context_section_description: The monastery is located in an urban square, on a slope, but outside the medieval burg, alongside the Cross of São Francisco.
  The long rectangular plan, includes a transept in the form of a Latin cross with the remains of the primitive church framed in polygonal apses in the south. Not only are the rear arches, nor the tops, are sculpted, suggesting that the areas were covered in Arcosolium.
  Its square front is divided in two flights, topped by undulating triangular frontispiece of cornices. Below the architrave, are three broad pillars divide it into three sections, with rectangular windows and ground floor porticos, with triangular cornices above of closed sides of masonry. The tympanum is decorated with masonry, whose sides are strongly constricted into five sections. To the south, abuts the cloister: within its interior is the triple-wide span of the Porta do Sol, with three pointed arches embedded by triangular edicula, with simple squared and geometric colonnades. In the first section, is the chapel of Dom Fradique of Portugal, built against the western wall of the nave, with a wide third section on the side of the epistle.
  The central plan, is simple consisting of cubic masses, wedges, divided into two sections in granite stonework, finished in pinnacles and crowned crown with merlons. There are four windows with three archivolts and lateral parapets, with one on each side. The south wing of the transept is truncated adjacent to the cloister.
