Alcobaça

A small Gothic town founded by King John I of Portugal to celebrate the end of the crisis of the Portuguese Interregnum in 1385.

Erected in celebration of the 1385 victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota, this Dominican convent was later the burial ground for 15th century monarchs.

A gigantic church built by King Afonso, the Mosteiro de Alcobaça evolved into one of the most prominent Gothic monuments in Portugal.

This picturesque seaside village is home to some of the country's very best beaches.

This city is famed for its thermal baths and traditional ceramic pottery.

A medieval fortress surrounded by 12th century walls, this charming town was gifted to Isabel of Aragon in 1282.
