Capela de Santo Amaro, Renaissance chapel in Alcântara, Portugal.
The circular chapel features a central dome structure with two cylindrical sections and decorative polychrome tiles covering the interior walls.
Built in 1549 under the design of architect Diogo de Torralva, the chapel received National Monument status through a decree in 1910.
The interior walls display late Mannerist polychrome tiles that narrate stories and miracles associated with Saint Maurus through detailed religious imagery.
Visitors can reach the chapel by taking tram 15 to Est. Santo Amaro stop or buses 714 and 727, with free admission during opening hours.
The chapel's elevated position on a hill presents views of the 25 de Abril Bridge while its circular terrace serves as a meeting point.
