Tips
The Royal Convent of the Wounds of Christ, as it is also known, was built in 1514 by D. Jaime as a pantheon for the Duchesses of Bragança. Today it belongs to the Pousada Convento. The interior of the church, classified as a National Monument since 1944, along with the cloister of the convent, is entirely covered with polychrome tiles dating from 1626. The main altar is rich in gilded carvings and paintings from the 16th century.
