Die Stadt wuchs im Schatten des Klosters, und ihre Granitgassen atmen noch immer diese Zeit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Das erste Kloster der Zisterzienser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Klosterkirche ist vollst\u00e4ndig erhalten, obwohl die religi\u00f6sen Orden 1834 aufgel\u00f6st wurden. Im Inneren befinden sich vergoldete Altarretabel, ein fr\u00fches Polyptychon, Fliesenbilder aus dem achtzehnten Jahrhundert, die von der Gr\u00fcndung des Hauses erz\u00e4hlen, sowie das romanische Granitgrab des Infanten D. Pedro, Graf von Barcelos, zu dessen F\u00fc\u00dfen ein Hund liegt. Rund um die Kirche stehen Klosterruinen mit Kreuzg\u00e4ngen, Refektorium, Apotheke und Zellen, in denen die M\u00f6nche das Tal sechs Jahrhunderte lang pr\u00e4gten. Wenige Kilometer entfernt im selben Tal liegt ein zweites Zisterzienserkloster, das Kloster Salzedas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">T\u00fcrme, Wein und Wanderwege<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Das Kulturerbe der Gemeinde verteilt sich auf ihre Pfarrgemeinden: Der befestigte mittelalterliche Turm von Ucanha bewacht einen \u00dcbergang \u00fcber den Varosa; in den D\u00f6rfern des Plateaus liegen Kapellen und Herrenh\u00e4user zwischen den Weinbergen des abgegrenzten Douro-Weinbaugebiets. Wanderwege durchqueren das Tal; das Weingebiet von <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/de\/?post_type=to-visit&#038;p=61316\">Armamar<\/a> und die Domstadt <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/de\/sehenswertes\/regionen-portugals\/porto-nord\/lamego\/\">Lamego<\/a> sind von hier aus bequem zu erreichen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sehenswertes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Die Kirche und die Ruinen des Klosters S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o de Tarouca<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Das romanische Grab des Infanten D.
