The monastery of Santa Maria de Pitões das Júnias has roots that are believed to date back to a period before the founding of the Kingdom of Portugal, in the 9th century, during the Christian Reconquest. However, it is certain that it was founded in the mid-12th century, initially under the Benedictine Order, later adhering to the Cistercian reform.

Notable remains of its original design still remain, such as the simple side portico of the church and the discreet arcades of the cloister, now in ruins.
