Скачать или смотреть Basic Invention That Saved Monks From Obesity In Medieval Portugal

At the heart of the picturesque Alcobaça Monastery, monks faced an intriguing challenge: the "pega gordo" door, a slender passage granting access to sustenance. Employed by the Cistercian Order to combat gluttony, the door became a disciplinary measure, enforcing a lean physique suitable for manual labor. Founded in 1187, the monastery's tale extends beyond, surviving a government decree in 1834. Today, it stands as one of Portugal's wonders, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a national monument since 1910, with the legacy of the "pega gordo" door adding a captivating twist to its narrative.
