These were from those constructions where people came to get away from the city in search of "simplicity", the convent had religious purposes and has a "Franciscan" touch, this means that it was at the order of the Catholic Church that had been founded in the 12th century, but there is something in the architecture of the convent that makes it very special and that you have probably never seen anything like it...😮🤯🤴👸

Estas eran de aquellas construcciones donde venian las personas a alejarse de la ciudad en busca de la "simplicidad", el convento tenia fines religiosos y tiene un toque "franciscano" esto quiere decir que estaba a la orden de la iglesia catolica que habia sido fundado en el siglo 12, pero hay algo en la arquitectura del convento que lo hace muy especial y que probablemente nunca habias visto nada igual...🧕🧕

As I mentioned before, the construction of the convent is quite simple and poor and we can clearly see how there is a fusion with nature to create an environment full of peace, tranquility and mysticism! At that height, the people who provided religious services used the "granite" rock of the place to create altars and houses.😮📚🤯 #

Como lo comentaba anteriormente la construccion del convento es bastante simple y pobre y podemos ver claramente como hay una fusion con la naturaleza para crear un ambiente lleno de paz, tranquilidad y misticismo! en esa altura las personas que prestaban servicio religioso utilizaban la roca de "granito" del lugar para crear altares y viviendas🌎🙇‍♂️

The convent is also called the "Convent of the Cortiza" its construction dates back to the famous era of discoveries exactly in 1560, incredible right? we are seeing a space with almost five hundred years of Portuguese history! the convent was erected when king D. Sebastião was in the Portuguese crown, king Sebastião had made a vow to his father Sebastião that he would build a convent for religious purposes in the sierra de sintra!🤴👸🌻🌏

El convento tambien recibe el nombre del "Convento de la cortiza" su construccion data en la famosa era de los descubrimientos exactamente en 1560 increible no? estamos viendo un espacio con casi quinientos años de historia Portuguesa! el convento fue erguido cuando el rey D. Sebastião estaba en la corona Portuguesa, el rey Sebastião habia hecho un voto a su padre Sebastião que construiria un convento con fines religiosos en la sierra de sintra!📚💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

This was the first area visited by the pilgrims who had to present three crosses as a sign of the crucifixion of Christ, it was a very religious area full of mystery since the pilgrims visited the convent in search of spiritual peace or to cure some common illness of that height! here they could choose between two paths to reach the main area of the convent.🕍🕍

Esta era la primera zona visitada por los peregrinos que debían presentar tres cruces como señal de la crucifixión de Cristo, era una zona muy religiosa llena de misterio ya que los peregrinos visitaban el convento en busca de paz espiritual o para curar alguna enfermedad común de esa altura! aquí podían elegir entre dos caminos para llegar al recinto principal del convento.🧭🚩🌍

This was the entrance of the convent and it was the area to follow after the "grounds of the crosses" here we literally see a "symbolic language" where people could see through paintings and designs what the daily life of someone who lived in the convent was like, you can see a "wooden cross carrying sin"😮😮💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

Esta era la entrada del convento y era el area a seguir luego del "terrenos de las cruces" aqui literalmente vemos un "lenguaje simbolico" donde las personas podian ver mediante pinturas y diseños como era la vida cotidiana de alguien que vivia en el convento, se puede ver una "cruz de madera cargando el pecado"🧠🕵️‍♂️🧕

This was one of my favorite areas since it is at the entrance of the convent and it was a fountain built to supply water to the pilgrims who arrived at the convent very thirsty after walking up to 20km, remember that Sintra is one of the highest points in Lisbon It is literally a mountain! It was also a space to socialize🕍🧠📚

Esta fue una de mis areas favoritas ya que esta en la entrada del convento y fue una fuente construida para suministrar agua a los peregrinos quienes llegaban al convento muy sedientos luego de caminar hasta 20km, recordemos que Sintra es uno de los puntos mas alto de lisboa literalmente es una montaña! tambien era un espacio para socializar🌴🌾🌵🌼

Incredible how in the 15th century there was already an architectural advance where the properties of natural resources were used, both inside and outside the convent we see many constructions made with "cork" at that time it was known that this material was a great thermal insulator as well as noise too! Being very moist, the cork also absorbs moisture, giving pilgrims a more comfortable life and a legacy for today's architecture!💖💥

Increible como en el siglo 15 ya existia un avance arquitectonico donde se aprovechaba las propiedades de los recursos naturales, tanto dentro como fuera del convento vemos muchas construcciones realizadas con "corcho" en aquella altura se sabia que este material era un gran aislante termico asi como tambien de ruido! al ser sintra muy humeda el corcho tambien absorve la humedad, dandole a los peregrinos una vida mas comoda y un legado para la arquitectura actual!🧔🧔

The story tells that a pilgrim lived in the convent all his life, who dedicated his spirit to the religious order but his story stood out since he was a hermit who lived on what nature provided him, it is believed that he lived in the caves of the convent, the character was true and lived 95 years. died in 1595😮😮

Cuenta la historia que en el convento vivio un peregrino toda su vida, que dedico su espiritu a la orden religiosa pero su historia se destaco ya que el era un hermitaño que vivia de lo que la naturaleza le provee, se cree que el vivia en las cuevas del convento, el personaje fue verdadero y vivio 95 años. murio en 1595💥🧔🧔
