14th Cent Tomb of Inês de Castro, Monastery of Alcobaça

The church of the Monastery of Alcobaça houses the 14th-century tombs of King Pedro I and his lover, Inês de Castro.
Pedro's tomb rests on roaring lions, while Inês's tomb is supported by assassin-like hybrid figures—
capturing one of Portugal’s most famous and tragic royal love stories.
