Great Cathedral

A large and very beautiful religious monument

Opening Hours: The sanctuary is open every day, generally from 9 am to 6 pm. It is a place of worship, therefore masses are also held regularly. Price: Entry to the sanctuary is free. Accessibility: It has wheelchair accessible parking. How to Get There: Access to the site can be made by car or by the Nazaré Elevator (funicular), which connects the beach to the upper part of the city and provides a scenic route.

The Legend: The story of the image is told through the paintings in the church and sacristy, which allude to the miracle that occurred near the cliff. Location: The sanctuary is next to the famous Miradouro do Sítio da Nazaré (or Suberco), which offers a fantastic view of the beach and the village of Nazaré.

Architecture and History: The church was built on the site where, according to legend, the Virgin Mary saved the knight D. Fuas Roupinho from falling off the cliff. The facade has inscriptions in Latin, including "Deiparae Virgini a Nazareth" ("Virgin of Nazareth, Mother of God"). The interior houses the Sacred Image of the Black Virgin, carved in wood and which, according to tradition, was brought to the site in the year 711.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré is located in Sítio da Nazaré, the upper part of the town of Nazaré, in Portugal. It is a place of great religious and historical importance, intimately linked to the legend that gave rise to the devotion to Our Lady of Nazaré.

From the chapter house on the ground floor, a staircase leads up to the dormitory. This staircase was rediscovered during renovations beginning in 1930. Located on the first floor, the dormitory extends 66.5 meters in length and 21.5 to 17.5 meters in width along the entire east side of the medieval part of the abbey, thus covering an area of almost 1,300 square meters. In its current form, restored through renovation, it presents itself in its original medieval state. At the southern end, the dormitory opens with a large round-arched doorway to the northern transept of the church. A staircase formerly led down from there, as the Cistercian rule required two separate entrances to the communal sleeping quarters. At the northern end of the dormitory were the latrines, which—again according to a general rule of the order—had to be separated from the sleeping quarters by a separate room. The wastewater flowed into the abbey's garden on the north side. The monks slept together in the dormitory, fully clothed, separated from their neighbors only by a movable partition. The abbot alone had his own cell, located on the south side facing the church. This arrangement is typical of most Cistercian monasteries of this period. A narrow door in the center of the western side leads to a narrow spiral staircase, which today provides access to the kitchen, but in the Middle Ages led to the calefactory (warming room, see below). This staircase also provided access to the upper cloister. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Alcoba%C3%A7a
