Convent of the Capuchos: Sintra’s Mystical Cork Monastery

4.8 (88)

Tucked away in the dense forests of Sintra, the Convent of the Capuchos offers a profound encounter with ascetic history. Known as the 'Cork Convent,' this 16th-century sanctuary features tiny rock-cut cells lined with cork for insulation. Wander through moss-covered boulders and narrow corridors to experience a unique, spiritual harmony between Franciscan simplicity and Portugal's raw wilderness.
