The Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Our Lady of the Conception) is located in the central area of the town of Idanha-a-Nova. It stands in Largo do Adro, a space that surrounds the building and contributes to its visibility and presence in the urban fabric.
The origins of this church date back to the medieval period, although the current construction results from a significant reconstruction carried out in the 16th century. This intervention gave it characteristics that align with the Renaissance style.
However, those who observe the church carefully will notice that the chancel area, the deepest part of the temple, still retains elements with Gothic features, remnants of an earlier phase of its history.
Upon entering the church's interior, one of the most visually striking points is the altar located in the chancel. This altar is notable for its rich decoration in gilded woodwork, an artistic work that commands attention and draws the eye with its complexity and brilliance, marking the centrality of the space.
