Recolhimento das Convertidas

This building, on Central Avenue, is in a state of apparent abandonment (waiting to be classified as IPP). It's at the height of Rolão House but across the park. It's an ancient institution, founded in the early eighteenth century by Archbishop Rodrigo de Moura Teles, dedicated to charity and to the acceptance of women (poor, widows, etc.) and was annexed to the chapel of St. Mary Magdalene. The main facade has a rectangular tower higher than the rest of the building.
