Heritage

Built by Cistercian monks between 1178 and 1254, the Monastery consists of three sections: the Church and the North and South Wings, which respectively housed the apartments of the kings and visiting court, and the residences of the Abbot and the monks. The original façade retains the battlements on the side roof, the Gothic portal, and the large side windows. The Church is the largest in Portugal and contains the tombs of King Pedro I and Inês de Castro. Also, noteworthy are the Ambulatory and the Chapel of St. Bernard, the Chapel of Relics, and the Chapel of the Lord of the Steps.
