Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

A fact from Alcobaça Monastery appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 July 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Monastery of Alcobaça, founded in 1153, includes the first Gothic buildings built in Portugal?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/July.

Why isn't this image of the monastery not in the article?

An article about Cistercians has a great image of the monastery that is missing from this one. Even though it's infeasible to include too many pictures, but would it be too many in this case? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adûnâi (talk • contribs) 14:42, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in caption. "wer" should be "were". Billyshiverstick (talk) 01:32, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Alcobaça Monastery is a Catholic monastic complex located in the town of Alcobaça, Portugal, 120 km north of Lisbon. It was established in 1153 by the first Portuguese king, Afonso Henriques, and developed a close association with the Portuguese monarchy throughout its history, leading it to become the richest and most influential monastery in Portugal. By 1300, it had a population of almost 1,000 monks and business interests including farming, fishing and trade. It closed in 1834, amid the dissolution of the monasteries in Portugal. Due to its artistic, cultural and historical relevance as one of Portugal's oldest Gothic buildings, the monastery and its church were included in UNESCO's World Heritage Site list in 1989.
