Located to the west of Santarém, at the beginning of an elevation that extends through the Municipality of Rio Maior, the parish of Almoster (former parish of Santa Maria de Almoster) is 13 km from the seat of the Municipality. The toponym Almoster, al monasterium, of Latin/Arabic hybrid origin, seems to denounce the presence of a monastery or simple proto-Christian hermitage. Of this first monastery we only have the toponym. However, there are traces of human occupation in the region since the III millennium BC Chalcolithic and Early Bronze. This is evidenced by the finds that are now part of the collection of the National Museum of Archaeology. The place of Almoster was chosen by D. Sancha Pires, in a will dated 1287, for the foundation of a monastery and his daughter, D. Berengária Aires, began, in 1289/90, the construction of a female monastery, submitted to the Cistercian Order, the Monastery of Santa Maria de Almoster, of which today we only have the Church, recently recovered by IPPAR, the Cloisters and the Chapter House (XVI century). XIV) and the ruins of the Dormitory and Refectory (XVI century). XVI). Inside the church, there are several altars of gilded carvings and seventeenth-century tile cloths. The culinary skills of these nuns can still be appreciated today, through the Arrepiados and Celestes, whose traditional recipes have been kept alive by the inhabitants of Almoster. It was also in the parish of Almoster, in the place of Santa Maria (Casal da Charneca), that the Battle of Almoster was fought, on February 18, 1834, between the absolutist troops, D. Miguel, and the liberal troops, D. Pedro, the latter having achieved victory, beginning a new period of our History, the Liberal Monarchy.
