Your Experience

The centuries-old Convento dos Capuchos stands as the epitome of simplicity in contrast to the contemporary beauty of Sintra. The convent is located among sights of rocks and boulders with picturesque caves. Stand in reverence of the 3 rock-carved crosses in the Courtyard of the Crosses that signifies the Calvary where Christ was crucified. Explore the several points of interest dating back to the 16th century, and marvel at the walls of the porch adorned with elegant paintings. Admire the characteristic intricately designed white and blue tiles from the 18th century in the Chapel of the Passion of Christ. The quiet church in a rustic grotto and the Cave of Friar Honorio stand frozen in time and will transport you back to the past. The austere structure of the Corridor of the Cells that used to serve as the meditation center for the resident Friars will stun you.

Be mystified by the library, whose contents are still unknown as the books were auctioned off and dispersed centuries ago. Take a tour of the age-old facilities of the kitchen, the barn, infirmary atriums equipped with an Apothecary chamber, and more. Explore the meeting room called the Chapter House, the Cloister where the Friars practiced contemplation, and the enchanting Hermitages hidden in the green woods. Lastly, visit the Donkey Reserve that conducts activities and awareness programmes to make people cognizant of the importance of this friendly species.
