Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Nova
The first stone of this building was laid on July 3, 1649, during the reign of King John IV. The new Monastery was built to house the body of Queen Saint Isabel and the Poor Clare nuns from the original Convent of Santa Clara, which was in an advanced state of disrepair. The church, with a single nave, consists of a choir and a chancel. In the lower choir is the original tomb of Queen Saint Isabel, executed by Master Pero in 1330, a work sculpted from a single block of limestone. On the walls, tiles and altarpieces from the 17th and 18th centuries stand out.
