The pousadas of Portugal are a national network of state run country inns and this is one of the finest. Situated about 5 km from the city it was the former 12th century Augustine monastery of Santa Marinha de Costa. Its restoration and rebuilding won the National Architectural Prize in 1985. A few architectural elements from the pre-roman era remain, together with signs of Romanesque and Gothic. There is a Renaissance stone fountain, cloisters and Portuguese glazed tiling. The park gardens, terraces and views are stunning. The Chapel and Gardens are open to the public.
