Mosteiro de Flor da Rosa, Gothic monastery and hotel in Crato, Portugal

The monastery complex includes three main sections: a Gothic church-fortress, a castle-palace, and monastic quarters with Renaissance and Mudejar elements.

Prior Alvaro Goncalves Pereira commissioned the construction of this monastery in 1356 when the Knights Hospitaller moved their headquarters from Leca do Balio.

The monastery houses the tomb of its founder and contains a medieval sculpture collection from the National Museum of Ancient Art.

Visitors can explore the monastery daily, with admission at 2 euros, while the converted section operates as part of Pousadas de Portugal hotel chain.

The structure stands as the most substantial fortified monastery in the Iberian Peninsula, combining religious architecture with military defense capabilities.
