Sarcophagus of Ines de Castro, Monastery of Alcobaca, Alcobaca, Portugal, 2009. Artist: Samuel Magal

Sarcophagus of Ines de Castro, Monastery of Alcobaca, Alcobaca, Portugal, 2009. King Pedro I of Portugal (1320-1367) commissioned marble tombs for himself and his beloved mistress, Ines de Castro (1325-1355), facing each other so that on Judgment Day their first sight will be of each other. Ines was declared Pedro's lawful wife, and therefore Queen of Portugal, posthumously. Though damaged, the sarcophagi are the greatest pieces of sculpture from 14th century Portugal. Both tombs have effigies of the deceased assisted by angels. The sides of Pedro's tomb are decorated with episodes from the life of St Bartholomew and scenes from his life with Ines, including a promise that they will be together até ao fim do mundo (until the end of the world). Her tomb is decorated with scenes from the life of Christ and the Last Judgment. Alcobaca Monastery was designated a World Heritage Site in 1989.
