In the 16th century the monastery of Santa Maria de Coz became one of the richest Cistercian convents in Portugal.
The tiles in the sacristy tell the life story of Bernhard de Claraval.
The church has a beautiful painted wooden ceiling from the 18th century. The walls are painted tiles again. The gilded wooden altar is baroque.
In Portugal in 1834 all monasteries were charged. The buildings are now managed by the municipalities.
