The convent of Avessadas is a religious oriented building, belonging to the order of the Discalced Carmelites, built between 1960 and 1961. The building consists of two equal bodies (House of the Novitiate and the shrine of the infant Jesus of Prague) separated by the Church of the shrine, and was born in the grounds of the Farm of Moria in Avessadas.
