Chapel of São Miguel

[1] The interior contains elaborate azulejo wall tiles, an altar with influences of Mannerism and an ornate Baroque organ.

The project belonged to Marcos Pires, who designed the naturalistic Manueline side door, although he died in 1521 and his work had to be finished by Diogo de Castilho.

The current chapel was planned by Marco Pires between 1517 and 1522; he designed the Manueline side door, but died in 1521, with the work completed by Diogo de Castilho.

In 1737, painter Gabriel Ferreira da Cunha added the "chinoiserie" (Chinese patterns) on the organ and in 1739 completed its construction.

Although Coimbra University teaching and administrative staff has priority, São Miguel Chapel occasionally rents the space for Roman Catholic weddings and other events.
