Mosteiro de Alcobaça

Sacristy
From the ambulatory the sacristy of the church can be reached. The sacristy had been built in manueline style in the early 16th century, but had to be rebuilt after the 1755 quake. The corridor leading to the sacristy, covered by a splendid manueline rib vaulting, and the portal to the sacristy have survived the quake. The portal is a framed by intertwined vegetal branches that carry the coat-of-arms of Portugal.
