The city became notable 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 evolved into the Monastery of
Alcobaça, one of the most magnificent gothic
monuments in the country. In the church are the
tombs of Pedro I of Portugal and his murdered
mistress Inês de Castro. Over the centuries this
monastery played an important role in shaping
Portuguese culture
