Convento da Penha Longa
Convento da Penha Longa, Medieval convent and national monument in Sintra, Portugal.
The Convento da Penha Longa combines religious architecture with hotel facilities, featuring cloisters, gardens, and the Igreja da Penha Longa church within its grounds.
Founded in 1355 by Friar Vasco Martins, the convent received royal patronage from King João I in 1400, establishing it as a monastery for the Order of Saint Jerome.
The Igreja da Penha Longa church displays Portuguese architectural elements with a Latin cross plan and gilded altarpiece in the Johannine style.
The convent maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout its premises and recommends weekday visits to experience the monuments with fewer visitors.
During the 17th century, the convent survived a significant flood in 1627, leading to royal-funded repairs that transformed parts of its structure.
