The chapel, built between 1750 and 1772, has a rich history, transitioning from a religious site to a tavern, before being converted into a museum.
João Calçada Correia, the current owner, aims to transform the chapel into a museum, stating that this gives the property a dignified purpose, reflecting its religious history.
The renovation carefully balances preservation and restoration while integrating new elements to accommodate diverse collections, such as sacred art and ivory paintings.
The design includes a distinctive ramp for the cane collection, utilizing the building's verticality, creating a 'floating' promenade experience for visitors.
