- Descrizione
- The Monastery of Arouca, whose foundation dates back to the 8th century, was one of the most important on the peninsula, following the Cistercian rule (www.cister.net/abbayes/fr/146/arouca).
The Royal Brotherhood of Queen Santa Mafalda was founded in 1886, after the death of the last nun of the Monastery of Arouca, with the aim of safeguarding, preserving, valuing and promoting the rich estate of this Cistercian Monastery, as well as avoiding its dispersion.
The Sacred Art Museum (Museu de Arte Sacra, est. 1933) is housed in the Monastery of Arouca, and collects objects of devotion of the nuns who inhabited the Monastery of Arouca.
