The Alcobaça Monastery is the first Portuguese Gothic structure, crucial in the 12th century's establishment of the Portuguese Kingdom. Monks of the Order of Cistercians began constructing the monastery in 1778. No trip to Portugal is complete without seeing Europe's finest example of Cistercian architecture.
Walk to the heart of the monastery, where the Cloister of King Dinis or Cloister of Silence lies. It gives access to the refectory, the primitive kitchen, the monks’ hall, the chapter house, the church, and the dormitory. Be mesmerized by the Church of Saint Mary of Alcobaça, the first Gothic Portuguese church. Admire the King’s Hall, where the cladding of the walls with 18th-century tile panels depicts the monastic foundation.
Inside the monastery, marvel at the masterpieces of medieval statues, the tombs of D. Pedro I, and Inês de Castro, and get to see the statues of São Bento and São Bernardo.
