In the middle of the area declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in December 1996 is the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, which Gaia has ex-libris, with its interesting church and cloister with a round floor plan, both unique in Portugal.

The Igreja, characterized by its round shape, is a copy of the Church of Santa Maria Redonda in Rome. It is covered by a hemispherical vaulted ceiling and surrounded by a small balcony. The completion took 72 years due to a lack of funds from the canons and the political situation at the time - the Portuguese Kingdom had been conquered by Spain - even this place was named after a Spanish saint, the Nossa Senhora do Pilar.

The Monastery of Serra do Pilar is a former monastery in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, on the other side of the Douro River from Porto. The monastery is located on a hill with a nice view of the Dom Luís I Bridge and the historic center of Porto.
