Garden of Shells

Medieval garden open to visitors every day except Mondays. With two chapels lined with shells inside... Not to be missed...

Garden and Chapel of Shells.The Chapel of Shells or Chapel of Our Lady of the Conception is a chapel located in the historic town of Alcáçovas, in Portugal.
Built in the 17th and 18th centuries, it has the unique feature of having a façade and altar decorated with shells.
The shells, which give the chapel its name, also adorn the adjacent garden, which can be entered through a tower with an interior covered in shells and shards of old porcelain. One of the walls of the chapel, in the garden area, is completely covered with an unusual panel of colourful designs made with shells.

Good route, there are some interesting things to visit
