Igreja e Ruínas do Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Pitões das Júnias

A Cistercian monastery that probably dates back to the 40s of the 12th century, preserving important Romanesque vestiges, particularly in the church's longitudinal nave, and Gothic elements in the chancel. It is located on the right bank of the Campesinho River, where the Mourela plateau meets the Geres mountain range. Inside the church, a Baroque altarpiece can be seen. Between the cloister and the cemetery, the church stands out, with a rectangular plan and a chancel, the latter on a lower and narrower level. On the main façade is a double-windowed bell tower flanked by two pinnacles and topped by a cross and a sundial dating from 1777. The entire building was constructed in situ using locally sourced materials. Inside, the floor is also made of granite slabs, and the roof is gabled in the church and the chancel.
