~meoralis~For today's #Doorsday, I delved into the archives and found a green beauty that adorns Capela Carlos Alberto in the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal in #Porto. Normally, I prefer and post doors only, but this little chapel – and the light – were so lovely ...
The #chapel was built for Charles Albert (Carlo Alberto) of Sardinia by his sister, a few years after he died in Porto.
After his defeat in the final battle of the First War of Italian Independence in March 1849, Charles Albert abdicated as king of Sardinia in favour of his son. He fled from Novara (not far from Milan) to Porto in exile, where he arrived a month later, now gravely ill, and died soon after in July 1849. His son and successor, Victor Emmanuel II (Vittorio Emanuele), became the first king of a unified Italy in 1861.
