Built in the reign of Dom Afonso IV, it was intended to commemorate the Battle of 1340. The porch consists of four carved broken arches, based on columns with carved capitals, topped by the Royal shield. Here is a cross that represents Christ Crucified on one side and the Virgin Mother under a canopy on the other.
