Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Seiça, 12th-century Cistercian monastery in Paião, Portugal.

The monastery features a vertical facade with two lateral towers, large pillars, and a single nave church with multiple attached side chapels.

King Afonso Henriques granted the monastery charter in 1175, marking the beginning of its role as a major religious center in medieval Portugal.

The monastery became a center for philosophical studies in 1567 with the establishment of the Congregation of Santa Maria de Alcobaça.

The monastery, located at coordinates N 40 02.767' W 008 46.908', is undergoing restoration works scheduled for completion in January 2024.

After its religious closure in 1834, the monastery building served as a rice processing facility from 1911 to 1976.
