The Igreja do Calvario Church was built over a small 1593 shrine in the village of Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal. Sometime afterwards, reforms were undertaken in the building, when they added the church body, the pulpit, the Baroque tiles panels and the Sala do Despacho da Confraria das Almas Room.

Its outside preserves a 18th century Baroque lines design.

The Sala do Despacho Room is a vaulted hall with a totally covered by 1716 blue and white tiles quadrangular floor. Today is a sacristy.
