The city of Alcobaca became notable after the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, decided to build there a church to celebrate the conquest of Santarem to the Moors, in 1147. The church later evolved into the Monastery of Alcobaca, one of the most magnificent gothic monuments in the country. In the church are the tombs of King Peter I and his murdered mistress Ines de Castro. Over the centuries this monastery had an important role on Portuguese culture.
