Capuchos Convent is a Franciscan convent, being further away from the rest of Sintra's attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built in 1560, this building stands out, above all, for contrasting with the wealth of other great attractions, such as the Palace of Monserrate and Quinta da Regaleira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more, its construction also makes it particularly interesting, as cork was used in a large part of its covering and decoration. In addition, many of the doors and windows are distinctly small, which gives the buildings a \u201ctoy house\u201d look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Capuchos Convent was built in 1560 and stands out from the rest of Sintra's attractions for its simplicity, as well as its involvement with nature.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those who decide to visit the Convent, bear in mind that the buildings are unfortunately still very degraded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abandonados em 1834 com a extin\u00e7\u00e3o das Ordens Religiosas, o Convento s\u00f3 passou a ser do Estado Portugu\u00eas em 1949, e s\u00f3 posteriormente, a partir de 2013, \u00e9 que se iniciaram verdadeiras e complexas obras de manuten\u00e7\u00e3o e reconstru\u00e7\u00e3o. Consequentemente, podem  eventualmente encontrar ainda algumas obras no percurso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the ticket price is very nice, being \u20ac7 for an adult (you can check prices and buy tickets here<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
