Het Convento dos Capuchos werd in 1560 gesticht als woonplaats voor Franciscaner monniken die niets wilden: geen pracht, geen uitzicht, alleen de stilte van het bos. Hun cellen zijn nog altijd bekleed met kurkschors, destijds hun enige comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Armoede uitgehouwen in de rots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Het klooster werd gesticht door D. \u00c1lvaro de Castro, ter vervulling van een gelofte die zijn vader, D. Jo\u00e3o de Castro, onderkoning van India, had afgelegd. Het werd overgedragen aan de kapucijnerhervorming binnen de orde van Sint-Franciscus. De monniken bouwden met wat de berg bood: cellen die nauwelijks breder zijn dan een bed, deuropeningen uit massieve rots en met kurk beklede muren voor warmte en bescherming tegen vocht. Zo ontstond de oude plaatselijke naam Convento da Corti\u00e7a, het Kurkklooster. Het klooster ligt in het UNESCO-cultuurlandschap van Sintra en wordt nu beheerd door Parques de Sintra, net als de paleizen van <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/nl\/te-bezoeken\/regio-s-portugal\/lissabon-omgeving-regio-s-portugal\/sintra\/\">Sintra<\/a> en de bossen van de <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/nl\/te-bezoeken\/regio-s-portugal\/lissabon-omgeving-regio-s-portugal\/parque-natural-de-sintra-cascais\/\">Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bezienswaardigheden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>De met kurk beklede cellen en deuropeningen uitgehouwen in de rots<\/li>\n\n\n<li>De kleine kapel en het stenen kloosterhof<\/li>\n\n\n<li>De bospaden van de Serra rond het klooster<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Het contrast met de paleizen op de bergkam van Sintra<\/li>\n\n\n<li>De uitzichtpunten over de beboste heuvels<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Praktische informatie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Het klooster ligt op de beboste hellingen van de Serra de Sintra en is via smalle wegen bereikbaar vanuit Sintra en de hoger gelegen parken. De grond is vochtig en de stenen zijn glad: draag goede wandelschoenen, neem ook in de zomer een extra laag kleding mee en controleer v\u00f3\u00f3r je bezoek op de offici\u00eble website de openingsdagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Fotocredit: Convento dos Capuchos in Sintra, door Ka\u010dka a Ondra \u2014 CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Een Franciscaner klooster uit 1560, verscholen in het bos van de heuvels van Sintra.
