Igreja e Mosteiro da Cartuxa de Santa Maria Vallis Misericordiae, Carthusian monastery in Oeiras, Portugal.

The monastery features limestone walls, three-arched cloisters, and two bell towers standing against the Barcarena Valley landscape.

Founded in 1594 through a land donation by Simoa Rodrigues to Misericordia de Lisboa, the monastery received papal authorization in 1598.

The monastery combines Renaissance, Mannerist, and Baroque architectural elements across its church, dependencies, and surrounding buildings.

Located on Estrada do Murganhal, the monastery remains accessible through bus lines 108, 117, and 158 serving the Oeiras area.

Together with the Monastery of Cartuxa in Évora, this complex represents one of only two Carthusian monasteries established in Portugal.
