It stands at Quartéis Street, Campo Maior.The monument is in a place where stood her noble family house. She was born there in 1437 (her eleven brothers and sisters too) and died in 1492. In 1976 the Vatican yielded her the statute of saint. She became the first Portuguese woman with that statute.

At Dr. Regala Square, Campo Maior. The origin of this chapel is described in the previous photo.

At Dr. Regala Square, Campo Maior. In 1732 a lightning hit the powder magazine of Campo Maior Castle. This caused a major explosion, destroying half of the town, with a balance of 316 deaths and circa 2000 injuried. About 3 decades later, works were carried out in the churchyard and many human bones were found. It was decided to built a chapel in memory of the 1732 victims, with those bones covering the walls and ceiling. Those skulls and other bones had no evidences of fractures. Considering this, it's not likely they correspond to victims of the explosion - rather to people buried in the graveyard by the Mother Church, with no relation with the tragedy.

At Faisão Restaurant (faisão=pheasant), near the Mother Church, also at Dr. Regala Square, Campo Maior. All the dishes are like this: pottery from Stoke-on-Trent.
