Mosteiro do Salvador de Paço de Sousa

The first references to the monastery date back to 994 in the testament of Abbot Randulfo, escaped from a southern Monastery during the incursions of Almanzor. Although the original church does not correspond to the current Romanesque temple, its architecture left marks on the building that was to be erected in the 13th century, which denotes a transition style from Romanesque to Gothic. D. Henry donated the monastery to Ribadouro family, which comes from Egas Moniz, who in turn lega half his fortune to the monastery to be buried there. In the Church is the tomb of Egas Moniz, which constitutes one of the most beautiful pieces of Romanesque sculpture in Portugal. The Church was declared a national monument in 1910 and the monastery in 1997.
