Monastery of Alcobaca
In Royal Abbey of Alcobaça we will see the biggest Portuguese gothic church. In this monument, like the Monastery of Batalha is consider by UNESCO a world heritage site, we will admire the gothic architecture of the twelve and thirteen century, but at the same time we will talk about the influence of the order of Cister in the creation of the kingdom of Portugal.
Of course it's inevitable, in front of their tombs, also to tell the tragic love story of King Pedro I – the cruel one, and his beloved - Inês de Castro, who was murdered by order of his father.
