Its baroque church, cloisters and gardens, restored after years of neglect, make it one of the most rewarding monuments in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The mother house of the Benedictines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monastery was founded in the eleventh century and rebuilt in the seventeenth, when it became the head of the Benedictine congregation of Portugal. From here the order governed its houses across the country until 1834, when the religious orders were dissolved and the monastery passed into private hands. It is now a national monument, open to visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">O que ver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The baroque church, with its gilded woodwork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cloisters and the monastic refectory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The gardens, with their terraces and box hedges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temporary exhibitions and cultural events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the monastery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monastery is at Mire de Tib\u00e3es, Braga.
