Alcobaca Portugal

Alcobaça is a city and a municipality in the Oeste Subregion, Centro region in Portugal, formerly part of the Estremadura Province. The city of Alcobaça became significant after the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, decided to build a church to commemorate the Conquest of Santarém from the Moors in 1147. The church later developed into the Monastery of Alcobaça, one of the most magnificent gothic monuments in the country. Over the centuries this monastery played a crucial role in shaping Portuguese culture. To the west of Alcobaça is the fishing village of Nazaré, now a popular resort town. To the south is the city of Caldas da Rainha and the medieval town of Óbidos. Also to the northeast is the town of Porto de Mós with its rebuilt castle.
