The convent stands apart from the town.

The western façade, facing the large square with its equestrian statue of general Nuno Álvares Pereira, is divided in three by buttresses and huge pilasters: the Founder's Chapel (Capelo do Fundador), the side wall of an aisle and the projecting portal.
On the right side of this façade are the Unfinished Chapels (Capelas Imperfeitas), a separate octagonal structure added to the complex.

Off the east side, next to the church choir is the Chapterhouse (Sala do Capitulo).
The Cloister of King João I borders on the church and this chapterhouse.
The structure continues into the cloister of King Afonso V (Claustro de D. Afonso V).
On the northern side of the complex lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the First World War.

The portal shows in the archivolt a profusion of 78 statues, divided over six rows, of Old Testament kings, angels, prophets and saints, each under a baldachin.
The splays on both sides display (inferior copies of) statues of the apostles, with one standing on a chained devil.
The tympanum shows Christ enthroned, sitting under a baldachin and flanked by the four Evangelists, each with his own attribute.
