In the central part we have the conjugal tomb of the founding king, D. João I and D. Filipa de Lencastre based on eight lions. This tomb belongs to a new “type” of tombs, in which there is a tendency towards greater naturalism, a growing concern with regard to the treatment of the human figure; in this way, this tomb presents the lying statues of the king and queen as if they had to be seen from above. The king is presented with his warrior's armor and the sword in his hand, and the queen with a cloak, with the Bible in one hand and the other holding the husband's hand (representing, on the one hand, the extreme and Christian mother and , on the other, a dedicated wife). - This type of marital tombs is of English influence.
