Antigo Convento de Corpus Christi, Historic convent in Santa Marinha e São Pedro da Afurada, Portugal.
The Convento de Corpus Christi stands near Gaia's waterfront, displaying architectural elements from medieval times through its stone walls and religious motifs.
Founded in 1354 by noblewoman Maria Mendes Petite, the convent underwent reconstruction in the 17th century due to damage from Douro River floods.
The convent houses exhibitions and educational programs through its partnership with the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto.
Located near the Douro River, the convent offers guided tours that explain its evolution from a religious institution to a cultural center.
The building features a Baroque façade influenced by architect Nicolau Nasoni and includes structures from different periods, including 1940s Estado Novo architecture.
