Portugal - Alcobaca - 2005

This is the tomb of the King; and there were many lesser tombs throughout the church for the rich and famous.  Further, in all of these churches, you would see “key holes” in the floor tiles, where the rich paid to be entombed.  This had to be a money-maker.  This tomb, and a couple of others, were extraordinary in their detail and beauty.
