(54) SANTA MARIA DE CELAS MONASTERY
Some aspects of Santa Maria de Celas' cloister - Coimbra, Portugal.
A Cistercian feminin Monastery from 1210 and a National Monument (Monumento Nacional) decreed on June 6th 1910 (by that time Portugal was a Monarchy!). It is still nowadays one of the most important examples of Portuguese Medieval Art and Architecture.
