Pousada do Convento de Belmonte
Serra da Esperança, Apartado 76, 6250-909, Belmonte - Beira Interior
The Inn Covento de Belmonte
Convent was born from the ruins of the Convent Nossa Senhora da Esperança. Its
parchments are as old as the history of Portugal and that the image of Our Lady
of Hope that accompanied Pedro Álvares Cabral on his voyage to Brazil belonged to its hermitage.
A little over a kilometre from
the Historic Village of Belmonte, the birthplace of Pedro Álvares Cabral, the
Pousada Convento de Belmonte has its origins in the recovery of the former
convent of Nossa Senhora da Esperança built over a hermitage, founded in the
13th century and most probably placed on old pagan cults sites.
