Monuments
The convent was founded in 1588 by the Bishop of Lamego, Dom António Teles de Menezes, for the use of nuns from the order of St. Clare, who were known as Poor Clares or Clarissas. The convent’s first abbess was the bishop’s sister, Dona Joana da Conceição.
All that now remains of the convent is the church, which is a classical Renaissance construction. Inside are two quite remarkable altarpieces: St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist. The walls are lined with 17th-century azulejos.
