In the Chagas de Cristo Royal Convent founded by the Duques of Braganca in the beginning of the 16th century and which has for many years made charming and historical Vila Vicosa in the Alentejo even more beautiful, the Pousada Dom Joao IV was built. Restored with authenticity and maintaining all the original architecture, the atmosphere transports us to another reality and to times of monasticism. The successive constructions of cells, oratories and retreats that were built by the religious Clarissas who sought shelter in this ancient convent are all still perfectly visible. The bedrooms of this pousada, distinct and varied, are characterised by being labyrinthine and thematically based on the legends and tales of the past. On the ceilings and walls we find references to antiquity and the history of the spaces of which the paintings and the tile panels should be highlighted.
