Thematic Tour

Burials in São Vicente

In the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, canons and lay people, kings and queens, patriarchs and knights, noble families and other poorer people were buried. What were the spaces of the monastery destined to receive the remains? Are there mummies around here? And what are anthropomorphic tombs? What can be a “carneiro” (ram), besides an animal? Why are there guts and hearts inside pots? Find out the answer to these and other questions. 

This thematic visit will also discuss the historical evolution of Christian burials and also share legends, myths and curiosities about the theme.
