We will then depart to Alcobaça, famous for its Monastery, which has the biggest church of Portugal. The Monastery of Alcobaça was founded by the Order of Cister. The land where the monastery was built was donated by King Alphonse Henriques, the first Portuguese King to Friar Bernard of Claraval, the founder of the Order.
