Essential Visit - One of the highlights of my trip. I like family history and I couldn't miss the chapel. I thought the chapel of the tombs was beautiful, but the chapel of the princes is impressive, the green color, the height of its walls, the dome, the breadth of the space. You don't know where to look and also if you go first thing in the morning, 8:15 there is almost no one, you can enjoy the silence. For me it is essential to visit it and yet it is not on the list of recommendations.
