Mosteiro de Santo André de Rendufe, bem como as ruínas do seu claustro, incluindo o chafariz

Mosteiro de Santo André de Rendufe, bem como as ruínas do seu claustro, incluindo o chafariz, Benedictine monastery and cloister ruins in Rendufe, Portugal

The monastery complex spans 5,565 square meters and features a Baroque church facade aligned with a large courtyard surrounded by vineyards.

The monastery's construction began before 1090 during Count Henry's time, becoming one of Portugal's main Benedictine centers between the 12th and 14th centuries.

The remaining cloister ruins display Tuscan capitals and arcades on the first level, representing architectural elements from different construction periods.

The entire property, except for the church, remains open for tourism exploration, allowing visitors to examine the architectural details and historical structures.

The monastery complex includes a library built in 1716 and a dormitory from 1728, with recent rehabilitation work focused on the dormitory roof.
