Cloister of Silence, 12th-Century Monastery of Santa Cruz

Founded in 1131, the Monastery of Santa Cruz is one of Portugal's most important national monuments and the final resting place of its first two kings.
It features detailed Manueline architecture, blue azulejo tiles, and a historic Baroque organ that has survived centuries.

Repeating Gothic arches and delicate azulejo tiles lead the eye through this peaceful, centuries-old cloister. Soft sunlight across the stone floor deepens its timeless atmosphere of silence and reflection...V
