Mosteiro de Grijó, Augustinian monastery in Grijó, Portugal
The monastery complex includes a church with a single nave, convent buildings, and a square cloister with polychrome tile panels displaying apostles and church doctors.
Founded in 922 by Guterre and Ausindo Soares, the monastery moved to its current location in 1112, with the church consecrated in 1235 by Bishop Pedro Salvador.
The architectural elements combine Renaissance and Mannerist styles, featuring a three-tiered main facade with arcades, central window, and niches containing saint statues.
The monastery features multiple connecting side chapels with Mannerist altarpieces, allowing visitors to explore different sections of the religious structure.
The tomb of Dom Rodrigo Sanches, a notable 13th-century sculptural work, was relocated to the former Chapter House in 2013 for complete viewing access.
