The Monastery of the Holy Cross (mosteiro de Santa Cruz in Portuguese) is a convent building located in Portugal, in Coimbra. It was founded in the 12th century by the Canons Regular of the Holy Cross, a congregation of the confederate Canons Regular of St. Augustine; in the 16th century the church and convent building were rebuilt in Manueline style and the sumptuous funerary monuments of the Portuguese king Alfonso I and his son, King Sancho I were created. In 1910 the monastery of the Holy Cross was declared a national monument.
