Monastery of Pombeiro Private Tour
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the monastery of Santa Maria de Pombeiro, one of the most important Benedictine temples in the North Atlantic region of Portugal. Moreover, you'll have a guide just for you! If you're an art aficionado, you can't miss out on the opportunity to visiting this religious complex, which is part of the Portuguese Romanesque Route!
During the private tour, we'll discover all of the charms hidden in the monastery. Did you know that since 1910 it's been listed as a National Monument? We'll discover its three-nave church built between the 12th and 13th centuries. We'll also explore the main chapel, which was rebuilt, but still retains its essence of the purest Romanesque style.
Although the church was subject to numerous modifications and reparations over the centuries, the sculpture of its main doorway, decorated with plant motifs, stands out. It's one of the best examples of sculpture in this monastery, and without a doubt, in the Portuguese Romanesque as a whole.
After an hour in total, we'll finish our private tour of the monastery of Santa Maria de Pombeiro at the entrance.
