Igreja do Convento do Salvador - Évora, Portugal - Baroque Architecture on Waymarking.com

[PT]
"Este convento foi sagrado em 24 de Julho de 1610, depois de a comunidade de freiras clarissas que o ocupavam terem primitivamente habitado no sítio onde depois, por ordem do Cardeal D.Henrique, Arcebispo de Évora, se construiu a Igreja do Colégio dos Jesuítas. A igreja é um puro exemplar da arte barroca conventual do século XVII. Ao seu lado, subsiste a antiga torre da cerca velha da cidade, construção do século XIV (com prováveis origens visigóticas), depois integrada pelas freiras no Mosteiro, como torre-mirante (com as habituais janelas de tijoleira, que também existem nos outros dois conventos de clarissas da cidade, Santa Clara e Calvário.

Encerrado por força da expulsão das Ordens Religiosas, no final do século XIX, serviu como Quartel de Artilharia 1 até ser demolido, na década de 1940, dando lugar ao edifício da Estação dos Correios de Évora e à nova Rua de Olivença. Escaparam à destruição a Igreja, a Torre-Mirante (hoje sede da extinta Direcção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais - Sul) e parte do Claustro."

"This convent was consecrated on July 24, 1610, after the community of Poor Clare nuns who occupied it had originally inhabited the site where later, by order of the Cardinal D. Henrique, Archbishop of Évora, they built the Church of the Jesuit College. The church is a pure example of baroque art of the seventeenth century convent. Beside her, there is the ancient tower of the city's old fence, construction of the fourteenth century (with likely origins Visigothic), then integrated by the nuns at the monastery, as-lookout tower (with the usual tiled windows, which also exist in the other two Poor Clare monasteries of the city, Santa Clara and Calvary.

Closed pursuant to the expulsion of the religious orders, in the late nineteenth century, served as Artillery Barracks 1 to be demolished in the 1940s, giving way to the Post Office building and the new Evora Street Olivenza. Escaped the destruction of the Church, the Tower-Lookout (now defunct headquarters of the Directorate General for National Buildings and Monuments - South) and part of the cloister."
