The Santa Cruz Monastery, best known as Igreja de Santa Cruz, is a National Monument in Coimbra, Portugal. Because the first two kings of Portugal are buried in the church it was granted the status of National Pantheon. Founded in 1131 outside the protecting walls of Coimbra, the Santa Cruz Monastery was the most important monastic house during the early days of the Portuguese monarchy. St. Theotonius founded this community of Canons Regular of the Holy Cross of Coimbra and served as their first prior. The monastery and church were erected between 1132 and 1223.

Palácio São Silvestre - Boutique Hotel

Palácio São Silvestre - Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were helpful, the room was clean and parking was on site which was nice. The grounds around the hotel were quite nice which had many orange and lemon trees loaded with fruit. Pool was being cleaned when we were there and we would not go into the pool even though staff said that we could. It was quite dirty. The hotel is about a 20 minute ride into the heart of Coimbra. We would recommend a taxi or Uber since parking is very hard to find in Coimbra. "

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Santa Cruz?
The best time to visit Santa Cruz, Coimbra District, Portugal, is during the late spring and early autumn months, specifically from May to June and September to October.

These periods offer pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures that are ideal for enjoying the coastal activities and exploring the town without the peak summer crowds. You'll find the ocean inviting for swimming and water sports, and the beaches are less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

For couples looking for a romantic getaway, these shoulder seasons provide a more tranquil setting. You can enjoy strolls along the extensive Santa Cruz Beach, explore the cliffs and natural rock formations, and dine at local seafood restaurants with ocean views without the hustle and bustle of mid-summer.

Solo travelers will also appreciate these times for the opportunity to explore at their own pace. The weather is superb for hiking along the coastal trails that connect various beaches like Praia Azul and Praia da Vigia, offering stunning vistas of the Atlantic.
