The place is magnificent, but the waiting is not well organized. When you have a Lisboa Card pass, you don't know whether to collect a ticket from the ticket office or go straight to the queue.

The building was simply gorgeous and I was amazed by its architecture. We need to line up outside for some time (50 minutes) to enter, and it would be great if the site could provide more guidance in an organized manner.

Ein Hinweis, wenn man zu Fuß vom Bahnhof in Sintra zur Burg geht.... An Kreuzungen bessere Beschreibung, wo der Weg weiter geht.

Your experience

The first Gothic structure in Portugal

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.

Discover how the monks lived

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.

Be awed by the medieval artwork

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.
