Alcobaca is a city and a municipality in Oeste Subregion, region Centro in Portugal.

 

The city of Alcobaca became notable after the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, decided to build a church to commemorate the Conquest of Santarém from the Moors in 1147. The church later evolved into the Monastery of Alcobaca, one of the most magnificent gothic monuments in the country.
