Go there and contact
This small chapel has a facade covered with a surprising black and white marble chessboard.
This small chapel is an annex of the Royal Convent of the Handmaids (Convento das Servas). Built in 1676, it became the headquarters of the Confraternity of the Venerable Third Order. Its façade is covered with an astonishing black and white marble chessboard. It is said that, after the architect miscalculated the original façade, he wanted to make amends and regain his lost credibility by creating this new, unusual version. You be the judge..
