The Monastery of Santa Maria das Júnias is a ruined monastery, of which the church remains, located on the outskirts of Pitões das Júnias. The last Cistercian monk became the parish priest of the village of Pitões das Júnias in 1834, the date of the abolition of religious orders in Portugal. As a historical curiosity, it is worth noting that Dom Pedro de Pitões, one of the main drivers of the conquest of Lisbon from the Moors in 1147, was ordained bishop of Porto at this monastery.

Hidden in the heights of Pitões das Júnias, the ancient monastery of Santa Maria carries centuries of history in the stones that support it. It is believed that its origins date back to the 9th century, in the middle of the Reconquista era, before Portugal was born as a kingdom. Officially, however, it was founded in the 12th century under the auspices of the Benedictines, and later embraced the austerity of the Cistercian reform. Today, among the silent ruins, the modest side portico of the church and the delicate arcades of the cloister remain.

On the way it is possible to visit a Fojo do Lobo (an old structure used for wolf hunting) and hike along an old levada. The 7 natural pools that make up Sete Lagoas were naturally carved into the rock by erosion. They lie below a dam that supplies the surrounding villages with electricity.
