Many people came here to visit the two beautifully carved sarcophagus of the main altar next to the chapel, which is the most famous of Pedro I and Ines' sarcophagus (Ins de Castro)). The two coffins were placed on foot, which Pedro said to think when the end of the world came, The two can see each other at first sight when they wake up. Their story is known as the 14th century Portuguese royal version of "Romeo and Juliet", the story is like this: 14th century, forced by the needs of the country, then Portuguese king Alfonso IV son and heir Pedro. Married Constanza, Princess of the Kingdom of Castile (Spain), in fact, Pedro loved the princess's maid Inez• De• Castro(Ines de Castro) and secretly married Inez. After Constanz's death, Pedro took Ines to Coimbra (now the central Portuguese town) to live. Alfonso IV warned Ines' family that it was dangerous and sent him to murder Ines. Two years later, Alfonso IV returned to heaven and Pedro I, who became king, took extreme revenge. In the act, he ordered the murderers of Ines to be removed and their hearts to be dug out; and he declared that he would still marry Ines; and Pedro I ordered the men to dig out Ines' body and crown her. After that, the most gruesome scene occurred, Pedro I ordered the court to kneel before Ines and kiss Ines's rotten hand.
