Princess Leonor, Queen of Portugal and Founder of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Lisbon

On the 500th anniversary of the death of Queen D. Leonor, on November 17, 1525, the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisbon wanted to honor its founder, paying tribute with this edition, especially aimed at the youth audience.

With a fictional narrative inspired by the figure of one of the most illustrious queens of Portugal, the story is constructed between the fantasy and reality of D. Leonor's life, particularly highlighting the creation of the first Misericórdia in the country.
