Cistercian Abbey of Odivelas
The Cistercian Abbey Odivelas (Portuguese: Mosteiro de São Dinis ) was 1295-1886 a monastery of Cistercian nuns in Odivelas in Portugal .
history
King Dinis (= Dionysius) of Portugal donated the Cistercian monastery of Odivelas, founded by the Alcobaça monastery in 1295 , which served as a burial place for the king and his daughter Maria Afonso . When the last abbess, Bernarda da Encarnação Correia, died in 1886, the monastery buildings fell to the state. Today they house a school. The abbey church and two cloisters have been preserved.
The Queen Philippa of Lancaster lived in the monastery at that time . Gil Vicente wrote his work Auto da Cananea in 1534 at the request of Abbess Violante Álvares Cabral. Abbess Paula Teresa da Silva e Almeida (1701–1768) had a long-term relationship with King John V , from which several children emerged.
