Alcobaça

Travel Guide

"The Monastery of Santa Maria d'Alcobaça, north of Lisbon, was founded in the 12th century by King Alfonso I. Its size, the purity of its architectural style, the beauty of the materials and the care with which it was built make this a masterpiece of Cistercian Gothic art." UNESCO

Look elsewhere.
Stop at this review and look elsewhere. Very confusing check in, thats if you can find the reception area. The bungalows are very outdated and worn out. A lot of mildew inside. Terrible sewage smell.
