Conjunto constituido pela Igreja e Casa do Mosteiro de São Salvador de Moreira, Religious heritage site in Moreira, Portugal.

The complex includes a church and monastery house with stone walls, arched windows, and golden altarpieces in northern Portuguese architectural style.

Founded in 832 and relocated in 1060, the monastery became the most important institution of the Order of Saint Augustine in Porto Diocese.

The church maintains regular religious services and houses the Santo Lenho de Moreira, a fragment of the Cross of Christ received before 1085.

The religious complex spans over 10,000 square meters and contains three main sections: the church, the monastery, and the surrounding grounds.

Portuguese writer Eça de Queirós referenced the monastery grounds as 'Quinta de Refaldes' in his literary works.
