The low choir is located in this place

Typically the low choirs of convent churches for women tend to be much more ornate than the churches themselves however this site is a clear exception

Right at the entrance on an altarpiece there is a sculpture in Roca representing the Pilgrim Queen

It is here in this location that the Tomb of the Holy Queen is located entirely made with ançã stone by Master Pêro between the years of 1326 and 1328 evidencing the Gothic tomb style of the time

Here is the Queen in a paradoxical context crowned and surrounded by the heraldry that makes her unique the shields of the Infanta of Aragon the five quinas of the Queen of Portugal and the eagles of the Holy Roman Empire inherited from her mother on the other hand she appears dressed in the habit of a Clarissa as an expression of the mourning she had completed and as a sign of respect and humility towards the memory of King Don Dinis The queen holds a pilgrim's staff and a bag offered by the Archbishop of Compostela In the bag there is a scallop the ultimate symbol of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

Facing the tomb one can see a lion and a bull representing the evangelists Mark and Luke and in the center Saint Clare of Assisi Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Elizabeth of Hungary great-aunt of Queen Saint Elizabeth The tomb is all original except for its painting which was created later by a Clarissa who lived in the monastery

On the left side the Poor Clares themselves appear with their respective habits and missals accompanied by Bishop St. Louis of Toulouse and Monk St. Francis of Assisi founder of the Order of Friars Minor better known as Franciscans

On the right side the queen chose the intercession of the Apostles to accompany her into eternity

Still in the Lower Choir on the right side are buried Poor Clares very important ladies in Portuguese civil society who joined this Religious Order Some tombstones come from Santa Clara-a-Vélya

In the background on the wall there are altarpieces whose creation date is uncertain but with totally different art styles situated between the 16th and 17th centuries

This place also houses an organ built in the 17th century by the Monk Don Manuel Benito Gomez
