Santarém - Igreja de Santa Clara

Northeast of the Jardim da República, just outside the old town, stands the Gothic church of Santa Clara (13th C.), belonging to a convent founded by Queen Leonor. The queen's mortal remains were brought here in 1634 and rest in a tomb decorated with her coat of arms. A sarcophagus from the first half of the 14th C. which was intended for the queen remains empty. The Gothic fountain, the Fonte das Figueiras, is just south of the Igreja de Santa Clara, while the Sao Bento viewpoint is about 500yd to the east.
