Convento de Nossa Senhora da Consolação do Bosque
Convent founded in 1505 by Dom Jaime IV, fourth Duke of Bragança. It was here that this historical figure isolated himself, consumed by remorse for having had his wife, the Duchess Dona Leonor, killed. The highlight goes to the forest inside, given its richness, which includes artificial lakes, islands, chapels, fountains and corners of great beauty.
