Igreja da Graça, Gothic church in Marvila, Santarém, Portugal

The church features three naves supported by large columns, with a cross-shaped ogive ceiling and tall windows illuminating the central altar.

Construction began in 1380 under Count Afonso Telo de Menezes, incorporating architectural elements that reflected the late Gothic period developments in Portugal.

The tomb of Pedro Álvares Cabral, who discovered Brazil, rests in the southern apse next to his wife Isabel de Castro's final resting place.

The entrance portal includes several steps leading to the main hall, where visitors can examine the stone rosette made from a single block.

The church contains the shared tomb of Pedro de Menezes and Beatriz Coutinho, depicted holding hands with detailed sculptures reflecting Monastery of Batalha designs.

Location: União de Freguesias da cidade de Santarém
