reconstruction of
the ruined Convent of Nossa Senhora da Esperança
Very near Belmonte, where Pedro Álvares
Cabral was born, the Pousada de Belmonte - Convento de Belmonte results from the
reconstruction of the ruined Convent of Nossa Senhora da Esperança, where there
is also a small 13th century Chapel. The Pousada de Belmonte preserves all the
historical architecture of the convent, including an amphitheatre in the
woodlands.
