O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Crkva ima jedan od najdužih manastirskih hodnika u Portugalu sa 110 metara dužine. Čine je kombinacija romanskih i baroknih arhitektonskih stilova, što je vrlo neobično za taj region.

Istaknuto: U manastiru se nalazi grobnica portugalskih kraljeva, uključujući prvog kralja Portugala, Afonso Henriquesa, što posetiocima donosi osećaj ulaska u kraljevski svet. Na ulazu je natpis sa prastarim portugalskim slovima, koje retki moderni turisti uopšte primećuju.

Insajderski saveti

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.
