At the beginning of the 16th century, King Manuel I, drawing on the existing Charola of the Templars in the area of Castelo de Tomar, had this magnificent Manueline church building erected, transforming the Charola into a chapel of his conventual church. To this end, he had the Charola broken open to the west and the opening adorned with a triumphal arch, conceived and built by Joo de Castilho in 1515. The narrow church area that resulted behind the magnificent portal subsequently served as the choir and stage.
