Less than two kilometres to the north of Crato, the grand monastery and church of Flor da Rosa ("Rose Flower") was built in 1356 by the Grand Prior of Crato. It has been restored and now houses an elegant pousada. The village of Flor da Rosa is also known for its clay pottery, which is characterized for being extremely resistant when used for cooking and for keeping water fresh when used for objects such as mugs, barrels, bowls and pitchers. The 14th century gothic-style Igreja de Flor da Rosa is found in the Largo da Igreja.
