Here lived Princess Joana, daughter of King Afonso V, who took the veil in this house and was later made a saint \u2014 and her tomb and the convent&#8217;s gilded church are at the heart of any visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History and character<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The convent was founded in the fifteenth century for the Dominican order, and Princess Joana entered it in the 1470s, refusing marriage to live in religious life. After the end of the convents in Portugal, the buildings were adapted to house the museum of Aveiro, which keeps the memory of the monastery and of the princess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosa vedere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The church, with its gilded altars and choir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The tomb of Princess Saint Joana, a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cloisters and convent rooms of the museum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The museum collections, with painting, sculpture and tiles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The convent stands in the centre of Aveiro, close to the cathedral and the canals, reached on foot from the main squares. The museum keeps its own hours and ticket; the church remains in religious use, and access may be limited during services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nelle vicinanze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/it\/attractions-to-visit\/regions-of-portugal\/center-of-portugal\/museu-de-aveiro-santa-joana\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Museu de Aveiro<\/a> shares the convent, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/it\/attractions-to-visit\/regions-of-portugal\/center-of-portugal\/mercado-do-peixe-de-aveiro\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercado do Peixe<\/a> and the city&#8217;s canals are a short walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cm-aveiro.pt\/\" rel=\"noopener\">cm-aveiro.pt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Image credit: Mosteiro de Jesus, Aveiro, by Duca696, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fifteenth-century convent in Aveiro, home of Princess Saint Joana and now the city&#8217;s museum.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58663,"parent":12244,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1074],"tags":[1072],"attraction-categ":[1063],"localidade":[267],"content-type":[],"grupo-de-experiencias":[],"experiencia-tipo":[],"regioes_turisticas_term":[228],"class_list":["post-58668","to-visit","type-to-visit","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","tag-region-of-portugal","attraction-categ-religious-sites-buildings","localidade-aveiro","regioes_turisticas_term-center"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v28.7) -
