St. Elisabeth the Queen Chapel

In the courtyard of the castle stands the chapel in honor of Queen Isabel of Portugal, granddaughter of James I the Conqueror, who married the King of Portugal, Dinis. She was a very charitable person, this being a virtue she did not share with her husband. According to legend, one day the queen had bread hidden in the folds of her skirt, to give to the poor, and in front of her husband's eyes, the bread was converted to roses so that he wouldn't take it away. She died in 1336 and was canonized in 1625. Inside the chapel, with a single nave, the tile panels of the eighteenth century are highlighted,
