Mosteiro de Bustelo, Benedictine monastery and church in Bustelo, Portugal
The monastery features two bell towers with a fronton displaying a cross, while its church follows a cruciform design with a cylindrical dome.
Founded in the 10th century and documented in 1065, the monastery underwent major reconstruction starting August 13, 1633, transforming from a Romanesque structure.
The High Choir contains eleven oil paintings depicting the lives of Saint Benedict and his sister Saint Scholastica, along with architectural elements by André Soares.
The monastery opens on specific days with varying schedules: Mondays 19:00-20:00, Tuesdays 09:00-12:00, Thursdays 08:00-10:00, and selected weekend hours.
The cloister features a Hercules statue at its center and includes a sundial on its northern section, surrounded by six Tuscan archways.
