Alcáçovas, Jardim das Conchas, HFF
Inseridos no conjunto arquitetónico do Paço dos Henriques, a Capela e Jardim das conchas (como são conhecidos localmente) constituem um exemplar sui generis da diversidade cultural do Alentejo.

Inicialmente consagrada a São Jerónimo, a “capela das conchinhas” foi reedificada entre as décadas de 30 e 40 do século XVII e consagrada em 1680 a Nossa Senhora da Conceição, com a trasladação da imagem proveniente da Ermida de São Geraldo.

A água e as conchas traduzem uma forte imagem marítima para quem visita a capela e o jardim, traduzindo intimidade e movimento na geometria dos embrechados (inspirada na obra de Serlio) criadas pelas cerca de 26 espécies de conchas, em consonância com a azulejaria e elementos vítreos, e pelo circuito da água, que se iniciava no poço e seguia pelo aqueduto em direção ao tanque.

***********

Part of the architectural ensemble of the Paço dos Henriques, the Chapel and Garden of the Shells (as they are known locally) are a unique example of the cultural diversity of the Alentejo.

Originally consecrated to Saint Jerome, the "Chapel of the Shells" was rebuilt between the 30s and 40s of the 17th century and consecrated in 1680 to Our Lady of the Conception, with the transfer of the image from the Ermida de São Geraldo.

Water and shells convey a strong maritime image to those who visit the chapel and the garden, translating intimacy and movement in the geometry of the embrasures (inspired by the work of Serlio) created by the approximately 26 species of shells, in harmony with the tiles and vitreous elements, and by the water circuit, which began at the well and followed the aqueduct towards the tank.
