Convento dos Capuchos II

Convento dos Capuchos II
In 1581, after the Portuguese defeat in the battle of Alcácer-Quibir, Philip I of Portugal (II of Spain) visited the convent, making a statement that became famous: “Throughout my kingdom, I am very pleased with two things: Escorial, for being so rich, and the Convent of Santa Cruz, for being so poor.”

This humble convent is beautiful. I never heard that Philip II was Philip I of Portugal but I did hear that his father was Charles I of Spain and V of Germany. Best wishes, Anton.

Keep the women in convents in poverty while making the church itself rich! And the King.
Terrible times. A beautiful convent nevertheless, Zé
