Your Experience

Nestled among stunning boulders and picturesque caves lies the centuries-old Convento dos Capuchos in Sintra, a testament to simplicity amid modern beauty. Within its ancient walls, explore the Courtyard of the Crosses featuring three rock-carved crosses symbolizing Christ’s crucifixion at Calvary.

Step back into history as you wander through points of interest dating from the 16th century and admire elegant paintings on the porch's walls. The Chapel of the Passion of Christ showcases exquisite white and blue tiles from the 18th century, while a serene church in a rustic grotto and Friar Honorio’s Cave offer glimpses into times past.

Experience awe at the austere Corridor of the Cells, once used for meditation by resident friars. The library, with its mysterious contents auctioned off centuries ago, adds an element of mystique to your visit.

Tour historic facilities including a kitchen, barns, infirmary atriums featuring an Apothecary chamber, and more. Discover the Chapter House meeting room, the contemplative Cloister where friars practiced meditation, and hidden Hermitages located in lush greenery.
