    Tips

    Arouca Convent or Rainha Santa Mafalda Convent, as documented since the 17th century. X, this Arouca monastery, exclusively female since 1154, established itself especially from the 19th century onwards. XIII, when D. Mafalda, daughter of D. Sancho I, buried here, entered there. Few traces remain of the earlier phases, due to the major renovation works of the 17th – 18th centuries, which defined the current appearance. The church was built between 1704/1730 with designs by Carlo Gimac.
    When the liberal wars interrupted everything at the beginning of the 19th century, only two wings of the cloister were built, combining the chapter, refectory and kitchen, to the east and south. In 1886, with the death of the last nun, the Monastery was extinguished and all its assets were transferred to the Public Treasury.
