Om
Raske fakta: The church has one of the longest monastic corridors in Portugal, measuring 110 meters long. It combines Romanesque and Baroque architectural styles, which is very unusual for this region.
Høydepunkter: The monastery houses the tomb of Portuguese kings, including the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, giving visitors a sense of entering a royal world. At the entrance, there is an inscription with ancient Portuguese letters that few modern tourists even notice.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the monastery floor is rocky and there is a lot of walking.
- Photograph the tomb inscriptions up close as they reveal interesting historical details.
- Avoid weekends when there are more group tours.
- Bring an audio guide for a better understanding of the architectural and historical details.
