Convento da Cartuxa, 16th century Carthusian monastery in Evora, Portugal
The monastery features a grand cloister measuring 98 by 98 meters, with individual monk cells arranged around its perimeter in complete isolation.
Founded in 1587 by Archbishop Teotonio de Bragance, the monastery sustained severe damage during the 1663 Spanish invasion before restoration by King Pedro II.
The monastery maintained strong connections with wine production, housing the cellar where the celebrated Pera Manca wines were aged over centuries.
The monastery complex includes Renaissance architectural elements, marble facades, and a gilded altarpiece added during King John V's reign.
This structure stands as Portugal's only Carthusian monastery, operating continuously until 2019 when the last monks departed the premises.
