Monastery of Santa Maria de Maceira Dão
Monastery of Santa Maria de Maceira Dão, Medieval monastery in Fornos de Maceira Dão, Portugal.
The Monastery of Santa Maria de Maceira Dão presents limestone and granite masonry with an elliptical nave church and rectangular architectural layout.
Founded in 1173 by abbot D. Soeiro Teodoniz, the monastery joined the Cistercian Order in 1188 under the regional authority of Alcobaça.
The monastery accumulated over 1600 properties by the 14th century, including farms, vineyards, and mills across the Portuguese region.
The monastery sits along dirt roads near the Dão River, with access routes leading through the rural valley landscape.
The structure underwent major reconstruction from 1613, resulting in a main portico completed in 1669 that combines Mannerist and Baroque elements.
