The church with characteristics from the fifteen hundreds has on its entrance a porch with a low arch supported by two columns. On the inside it stands out the remarkable nave vaulted coverage, with crossed ribs and the glazed tiles panels from the seventeen hundreds that wrap two of the lateral chapels. From the primitive monastery from the 11th century it still maintains a magnificent Romanic doorway with two archivolts settled in four small columns with historied capitals.

The Monastery of Nossa Senhora da Assunção de Tabosa was the last Cistercian monastery to be founded in Portugal. Integrated into the Douro nucleus of monasteries and convents of the Cistercian Order, in the extreme south of the Varosa valley, and located in the so-called "Lands of Devil", they maintain the spirit of silence and recollection of their foundation.

Although the conventual part is in ruins, the church, rebuilt in the 18th century, presents a harmonious façade dominated by five sculptures representing the four evangelists and Saint Louis. Inside, the gilded altarpiece and the Joanine sacristy stand out with paneled and painted ceilings, and walls covered in historic tiles. The cloister is made up of seven sections of arcades with Tuscan columns. It is currently adapted as a guesthouse.

Although the history of ecclesial space point to a medieval Foundation dating back to the 12th century, the Church of Cárquere is structurally a fusion of styles that reveal crucial periods in their development as the monastic space, now linked to the Canons, now to the Jesuits. According to legend, it was founded due to the miracle, attributed to our Lady of Cárquere at the request of Bishop Egas Moniz de Ribadouro, of healing of the legs of Dom Afonso Henriques.

13TH century Romanesque building with contemporary changes. Highlighting the interior and the Baroque tiles, carpet type.

This is a Masculine Monastery from the Order of Cistercians dated from the 12th century. The façade is imposing and the towers grant it a solemn air.

Although the first buildings date back to the 9th century, the remains that are visible today belong to buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. The majestic Johannine-style church of Mafra and the Mannerist cloister are a special highlight of the monastery. Also, noteworthy are the tombs of Santa Teresa and Santa Sancha, the imposing baroque chair, the neoclassical organs and their grille, the paintings by Pasquale Parente and the stone and gilded altarpieces.

Convent founded in the 12th century by Queen Dona Mafalda, wife of Dom Afonso Henriques. The monastery owes its current appearance to the reconstruction that took place in the 16th century. The vault of the chancel and the cloister covered with tiles from the 18th century date from this time. The interior follows rococo and neoclassical styles. Note the choir, pulpit, organ and rococo carvings decorated with angels and mythological figures. In 1951, a fire damaged the convent part, which was restored and turned into a Pousada.

Of the Romanesque construction of this important monastic church, first by the Canons Regular and later by the Dominicans, we can only point out the structure of the chancel, where the rose window stands out. All the rest of the monastic set, valuable for its artistic capital and for its local and regional influence, is the work of the Modern Period. We highlight the Baroque interventions that reveal a period of space revitalization in the 17th and 18th centuries.
