Saint Lazarus Chapel  

It was built at São Pedro de Sintra in the 15th century.
The story of this chapel was marked by the pain of the Queen
Leonor, wife of João II, when she lost her son. After the death of King Afonso, the Queen ordered that a pelican and a fowling-net, symbols of the monarchs, were to be engraved in the main nave.
This chapel is still today a place of religious devotion.
