HISTORY
A religious house built more than 500 years ago to serve as the Pantheon to the ladies of the House of Braganza, the second most powerful noble family in the country, only after the Royal Family. Located next to the Ducal Palace, the convent, the church and the palace are witnesses of a rich historical era and, thanks to D. João IV, the Restorer, they serve as examples of a beauty and richness that are difficult to match.
