Tips
The São Pedro de Rates monastery (Portuguese Mosteiro de Rates) is a former Benedictine abbey in the parish of the same name (Freguesia) São Pedro de Rates in the district (concelho) Póvoa de Varzim, in the district of Porto, in northern Portugal.
Only the Romanesque church Igreja de São Pedro de Rates, also known under the name Igreja Românica de Rates, remains of the former monastery complex today. Due to its art-historical importance as the "nucleus" of the Portuguese Romanesque and its historical importance for the emerging Kingdom of Portugal, the church was registered and protected as a Monumento Nacional as early as 1910.
