Capela Carlos Alberto

Capela Carlos Alberto in the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal.

The Capela Carlos Alberto is a memorial chapel for the Sardinian King Karl Albert in the Portuguese city of Porto .

Karl Albert went into exile in Porto in 1849, where he died that same year. His sister, Princess Augusta de Montléart , had a chapel built in the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal in his memory at the end of the 20th century .

At first there were no services in the chapel. That changed when it was rented by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2009.
