Historic side of the Convent of Serra:
The former Serra Convent, between Almeirim and Raposa, built by D. Manuel I, belonged to the Dominican Order founded by the king, respecting the wish of D. John II, to be built near a fountain.
The Legend of Senhora da Serra:
One day some men grazing the cattle on the moor found an image of Our Lady. Their devotion made them keep the find. The story goes that Our Lady benefited them with some miracles. The inhabitants of the surrounding valleys set up a humble chapel on the top of the hill. Thus was born the chapel that existed already in the time of D. John II The monarch would have spent a hunting day there, and sensitized by his simplicity and devotion of the people, promised to build a new chapel. This building would be built by D. Manuel I, because it is said that the king would have known that Our Lady continued to perform miracles and decided that there was need of full time priests to assist the pilgrims. Thus, the monarch donated the house to the Order of St. Dominic in Santarém (in 1501), with the obligation to hold a mass every day.
Years later, legend has it that the chapel would have been visited by D. Manuel and Prince D. João (only 11 years old), who asked to be built there the Monastery of the Order of St. Dominic. Sensitized, D. Manuel will have ordered the construction of the Monastery, in place of the Convento da Serra.
