Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows (Ruins)

Highlight • Religious Site

At the top of the Montejunto mountain range, very close to the chapel of Nossa Senhora das Neves, there are remains of the first convent of the Order of São Domingos in Portugal. Initially built in 1218, shortly after Friar Soeiro Gomes arrived in Portugal, the current ruins are the result of the rebuilding (over the initial convent) that took place in the 18th century, upon the return of the Dominicans. Despite being in ruins, it is a grandiose monument that must be visited, with due care, given the dangers that ruins always contain.

Next to the monument, there is a trail called "Calçada dos Frades" that runs along the slope. This cobbled path, which is also thought to be from the 18th century, was opened to serve the construction and use of the Convent of Nossa Senhora das Neves. The path was also used by the friars to access the Real Fabrica do Gelo, located further down, where today there is a laser area and an interpretive center.

Highlight • Religious Site

Located in Serra de Montejunto, Alenquer, the 13th century Chapel of São João Baptista is close to the Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Neves and the ruins of a Dominican monastery. Every year, on the 24th of June, a mass is held in honor of Saint John.

Windmills of Serra de Montejunto

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

Very steep climb. I guess it might be competition climb even. At some point it peaked at 18%. If you're bike touring it will be extremely challenging climb. Keep that in mind. On road bike it should be a joy going up. Not the best road for fast descend.

Quinta da Abrigada

Highlight • Historical Site

Agricultural farm located in the town of Abrigada, which was once known as Amieiro because of the trees until the 16th century. The new name Abrigada seems to derive from "A Brigada" due to the presence of brigantes in this area, near the road that runs from Alenquer to Leiria at the end of the 16th century, during the period of the Portuguese wars of succession after the death of Cardinal-King Henry I of Portugal, or because it is an area sheltered from the natural elements of the geographical and climatic zone in which it is located.
