Description

The Alcobaça monastery, a piece of art and a piece of middle age on the actual days. A land promise that has created the biggest monastery in Portugal, receiving 3000 monks and controlling all the land in between Alcobaça and Nazaré.

You can enjoy the austerity of the Cistercian order (a lack of decoration that puts humankind on the proper site), and understand the concept of the chapter room and parlatory. Be amazed by a unique piece of engineering.

The church, a unique piece in Portugal - where the main Portuguese love story (Pedro and Inês) took place.
