    Tips

    June 15, 2025

    This impressive complex, now reduced mainly to its church, has medieval roots and was originally a Benedictine or Cistercian monastery (its exact origin is debated among historians). Built mainly in Romanesque style in the 12th century, it has undergone significant modifications and additions over the centuries, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries, which have given it Mannerist and Baroque elements.

    Despite the transformations, it still retains many of its original Romanesque features, such as the four-archivolt portal on the façade and the structure of the choir divided into quadrangular chapels. Classified as a National Monument, the Mosteiro de Fiães is an important example of Portuguese religious architecture and a testimony to its rich monastic history.
