Transformation
Confirm interior access
Start with the older north-facing wing overlooking the Tagus, then explore the rooms and gardens. Notice how doorways frame views, and distinguish the former chapel’s tiles from contemporary exhibits.

Obstruction

Change
Partial access restrictions
Read the factory as a system: where materials entered, where people worked and how machinery occupied space. Historical interior photographs do not establish current access.

Retreat
Visiting hours published
Looking toward the bay, consider both defensive advantage and the daily effort of climbing. Straight-line distance to the shore does not describe the walking route.

Look beyond the church to how the lodgings organise arrival and staying. Plan supplies and distinguish church access from the outdoor precinct.
