Abadia de Alcobaça, Cistercian monastery in Alcobaça, Portugal
The monastery features a Latin cross church with three naves, reaching substantial heights with stone vaulted ceilings and natural light through windows.
King Afonso Henriques established the monastery in 1153 following his victory at Santarém, granting extensive lands to the Cistercian order.
The monastery houses elaborate tombs of King Pedro I and Inês de Castro, displaying detailed Gothic sculptural work from medieval Portuguese artisans.
The monastery opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00 in winter months and 9:00 to 19:00 in summer, with adult tickets priced at 10 euros.
The monastery kitchen contains a water channel diverted from the Alcoa River, which supplied fresh water and live fish to the monks.
