King Charles Albert chapel, Religious chapel in Gardens of the Palácio de Cristal, Portugal.
The King Charles Albert Chapel features a romanticist architectural design with stone walls and decorative elements within the Gardens of the Palácio de Cristal.
Princess Augusta of Montlear commissioned the chapel in 1861 to honor her brother Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, who died in exile in Porto.
The chapel stands as a memorial connecting Portuguese and Italian royal histories through its dedication to the exiled Sardinian monarch.
The chapel remains open to visitors within the gardens, accessible through multiple entrances along Rua de Dom Manuel II in Porto.
The structure functions as a cenotaph, marking the connection between Porto and the Italian royal family during the nineteenth century.
