Is "Our Lady in Exile" (did I get that right?) an example of Romanesque architecture?

Yes, I think I've seen the 'exile' translation somewhere and no, it's not Romanesque - it's not old enough by a couple of centuries.

I'm not very good with architectural styles and then there are always little differences between European countries, but I'll wager a guess and say it's probably an example of Renaissance architecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Portugal#Renaissance_and_Mannerism_.28c.1520_-_c.1650.29) or the Plain Style unique to Portugal.

Ah... I see now, it was built in the 17th century.... thank you!
