泪庄园(Quinta das Lágrimas)

在蒙德古河（Mondego）左岸，在下方 新圣克拉拉修道院（Santa Clara-a-Nova）, the Quinta das Lágrimas keeps Portugal’s most famous love story in green shade. Here, tradition says, Inês de Castro walked and wept for Prince Pedro, and her tears gave the estate its name and its fountain.

水中的故事

The legend belongs to the fourteenth century: Inês, the Galician noblewoman loved by the future King Pedro I, was murdered in 1355 by order of King Afonso IV, and her death — and Pedro’s terrible revenge — became the founding tragedy of Portuguese literature. The Fountain of Tears, the Fonte dos Amores, stands in the garden; the reddish streaks in its stone channel are shown as the trace of Inês’s blood, and generations of visitors have come to read the story in the water.

世界花园

按传统，庄园曾属伊内斯（Inês）家族，19世纪主人在此布置了如今的园林，如同一座植物博物馆，沿运河、竹林和浪漫露台汇集世界各地物种，隔河眺望老城的塔楼 老主教座堂（Sé Velha）。宫殿与园林如今是酒店庄园，小径仍向游客开放，可走在传说走过的同一片土地上。

实用信息

庄园位于蒙德古河（Mondego）圣克拉拉（Santa Clara）一岸，距圣克拉拉桥与上方修道院步行可达。小径荫凉但坡度平缓，与左岸古迹同游很顺路。庄园部分区域开放情况取决于酒店——到访前请查看官方信息。
