The Chapel of the Coimbras is presented as one of the oldest and most private chapels in Portugal. Its location and history contribute to this status of privacy, remaining as a relatively unknown space to the general public.
There exists an analogy that describes this chapel as being similar to a chocolate: small on the outside, but well-stuffed on the inside. This comparison perfectly illustrates the surprising nature of the space.
In terms of physical dimensions, the Chapel of the Coimbras measures just five meters wide by five meters long, resulting in a truly diminutive structure.
However, despite its small size, the interior of the chapel proves to be surprisingly rich. In such little space, a countless number of statues accumulate, forming a striking contrast to the exterior simplicity of the building.
