The current city of Alcobaca has grown in the valleys of the Alcoa River and the Baca River.
The area of the current municipality of Alcobaca was inhabited by the Romans, but the denomination was left to it by the Arabs, whose occupation denotes an era of progress judging by the numerous toponyms of the adjacent lands that remind them, such as Alcobaca, Alfeizerao, Aljubarrota, Alpedriz and other toponyms.
When Alcobaca was reconquered, the locality had access to the nearby sea that formed the great Pederneira Lagoon that reached Cos and allowed them to sail the vessels that transported to the rest of the country the delicious fruits produced in the region thanks to the technique introduced by the monks of Cisterer.
Afonso Henriques sweetened the Lands of Alcobaca to the Cistercian monks on April 8, 1153, with the obligation to burp them; the donations made over the various reigns came to constitute a vast territory - The Coutos of Alcobaca - ranging from about Sao Pedro de Moel to Sao Martinho do Porto and from Aljubarrota to Alvorninha, and the territory reached its maximum in the reign of D. Fernando I.
The monks of Cistermen came to be lords of 14 villages of which 4 were sea ports: Alfeizerao, Sao Martinho do Porto, Pederneira and Paredes da Vitoria.
The monks of Alcobaca, in addition to their religious and cultural activity- have had public classes since 1269 and in them, in addition to Humanities, Logic and Theology, taught agricultural techniques - developed a remarkable and lasting colonizing action, putting into practice the agricultural innovations experienced in other monasteries and thanks to which they burped the lands, dried sticks, introduced cultures suitable to each land and organized farms or farms, what they called farms, creating practically from nothing an agricultural region that has remained to this day as one of the most productive in Portugal. Joaquim Vieira Naatividade refers to the monks of Alcobaca, as the monks-agronomes.
The municipalities of Alcobaca and Nazare, as well as part of the northern municipality of Caldas da Rainha, was burped and administered by the Alcobacense monks. This vast territory was called the Coutos de Alcobaca.
