Explore a forest convent shaped by granite, cork, and Franciscan simplicity
Step inside the Convent of the Capuchos, a humble 16th-century Franciscan monastery tucked into the Sintra Hills. Discover small, cork-lined cells, narrow passageways, and buildings fitted around massive granite boulders—a striking contrast to Sintra’s grand palaces. Wander peaceful woodland paths and see how the convent reflects the monks’ ideals of poverty, humility, and respect for nature.
