Monastery of São Martinho de Tibães, 11th century Benedictine monastery in Mire de Tibães, Portugal
The monastery complex includes a church, dormitory, library, chapter house, cemetery cloister, and extensive gardens surrounding the main buildings.
The monastery received its territorial charter from Count Henry and Teresa of Portugal in 1110, marking its establishment as a regional power center.
The monastery functioned as a training center for architects, carvers, gilders, and sculptors who contributed to Portuguese art during the 17th century.
