The sixteenth -century building of central plant and octagonal structure topped by a dome is dedicated to S. Gregorio Nazianzeno , the theologian who proved a deity of Jesus.
The rectangular Manueline portal stands out, soberly decorated and sheltered by the galilee that surrounds three sides of the chapel, resting on Tuscan columns of smooth shaft. The seventeenth- century tile panels originate from the Trinas Monastery in Lisbon and represent the life of S Gregory. On the altar is the image of the patron saint.
