Convento dos Capuchos (Photo Op)
convent, history, walking, exploring, photoop, Sintra
The convent, which was constructed in the 1500’s sit high in the hills outside of Sintra. The average visitor to Sintra doesn’t get to the Convent because there is no public transportation. That is a shame because it is probably one of the most interesting sites to visit in Sintra. The convent consists of a number of small cells, framed by giant boulders and lined with cork for insulation, and connected by narrow, cave-like passages. This is a place that encourages kids imaginations to run wild! To get to the convent take the road out of Sintra toward Monserrate and go about 2 km past Monserrate and follow the signs. It is 7 km from Sintra to the convent. Open daily from 930 AM (0930) to 8 PM (2000).
