1 review of Cloisters of Salzedas Monastery

National Monuments of Portugal

The Cloisters of the Monastery of Salzedas are in ruins and usually I don't visit ruins, but I was fortunate to be accompanied by the Councillor for Culture of Tarouca (county seat). The monastery has two cloisters. The first Cloister Adjust, the largest and is in its original location, attached to the south wall of the church. It has a classical structure with arches resting on pilasters and a closed gallery on the top floor windows topped by triangular pediments. It opened the Chapter House, which was covered with tiles (you can still see some fragments), and covered by a groin vault ceiling which bore the crest of the Cistercian order.

What surprised me is that this room is now private property of Madalena Rebocho, as is evident in the ubiquitous poster that is in the room, apparently after the confiscations, the convent buildings were sold in parts to different individuals. The second cloister is smaller and lies to the west, it is much more damaged and only a few arches and Tuscan columns remain. On the gateway to the upper floor is the Cistercian shield 1692. The monastery and its outbuildings are classified as National Monuments of Portugal.
