Monastery founded in 1131 with a Renaissance porch, housing the tombs of King Afonso Henriques and his heir Sancho I.
This monastery, founded in 1131 by the canons of Saint Augustine, has an incredible 18th century Renaissance porch, a real flamboyant debauchery, which adds to the original portal (and masks it). To see: the tombs of the kings Afonso Henriques (1st king of Portugal) and of his heir Sancho I, the impressive baroque organ, the Manueline cloister, the 17th century Mannerist sacristy with paintings by the famous Grão Vasco and Cristovao de Figueiredo.

Découverte exceptionnelle de l'art des azulejs (carreaux blancs et bleus) qui habillent l'intérieur de cette église.
Un autel à marches (tradition portugaise) assez spectaculaire.
Si vous profitez de surcroit d'un concert d'orgues, c'est tout gagné car l'orgue aussi participe à la beauté du lieu.
Situé en centre ville, il est un lieu incontournable !!
