Alcobaça Monastery

"The Monastery of Santa Maria d'Alcobaça, north of Lisbon, was founded in the 12th century by King Alfonso I. Its size, the purity of its architectural style, the beauty of the materials and the care with which it was built make this a masterpiece of Cistercian Gothic art." UNESCO

Monastery of Alcobaca was one the first Gothic built in Portugal. It currently houses the Tomb of King Pedro I.

The dormitory is a big Gothic room where the monks slept together: only the abbot was allowed to have his own room.

The Alcobaça Monastery is an impressive Medieval Roman Catholic monastery located in the town of Alcobaça. The church and monastery were one of the first Gothic buildings and one of the most important medieval monasteries in Portugal. Due to its artistic-historical importance and monumental beauty, the Alcobaça Monastery warranted its inscription in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1989. http://bit.ly/1U6DEYv
