Convento das Chagas-Terreiro do Paço 7160-251 Vila Viçosa /Évora (Alentejo|Portugal)
Among the vast heritage of Vila Viçosa stands out the convent, founded in the 16th century by the Dukes of Bragança as a pantheon for the ducal house and also thought of in order to seclude the women of the family that did not find a husband. This Royal Convent of Chagas de Cristo was the home of the religious women of Beja, the residence of the seminary of the archdiocese, until being transformed into the current pousada. Between the walls, silence harmonies with the roughness of the wooden beams and the clay, the captivating curtains and tiles, the original 18th century ones in the Sala do Capítulo. The personal bedrooms have been themed around the cloister. The same as the tavern, buried in the old convent kitchens.

All the ones distributed around the cloister, especially the special rooms, due to their themed decoration and bathrooms equipped with bathrobes, slippers and even some scales. Room 111, the Quarto del Profesor, keeps an ancient lathe and room 109, the Quarto del Astrónomo, exhibits a fresco of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción
The restaurant in the pousada serves lunch –rice and clam soup, marinated cod, pork leg- and drink, a delicious red, Marqués de Borba, crowns its wine menu.
The famous door of knots, in Manueline style, gives way to the inside of the village and thus to the plains of the giant palace, housing today an interesting museum of carriages, weapons and porcelain.
Dom Dinis Castle, ducal residence during the 13th century, between Palace square and Republic square, also housing two museums: an archeological museum and a hunting museum. Both the castle and the palace close on Mondays. On Tuesdays they are open only in the afternoon and on weekends they are open until 6 pm in the summer and 5 pm in the winter.
In general, it is worth getting close to everything in Vila Viçosa that is connected to the foundation of the Casa de Bragança.
And 4 km away, Borba, famous for its wines and marble.
