The temple where Vasco da Gama was christened was demolished in 1730 to make way for the present church dedicated to the Saviour. It is a building of great sobriety, reflecting the spirit of the Military Order of Santiago, whose coat of arms is visible on the main door. Inside, special note should be made of the tiles of the main chapel, a monumental composition in blue and white from the mid- 18th century. A 7th century Visigoth basilica must have existed previously on the side of this church, of which several richly carved pilasters, removed from the castle walls, are preserved in the Museum.
