Sacred Art Museum

The Sacred Art Museum, located in the Monastery of Arouca, was inaugurated in 1933. The works of art which are exposed – from the twelfth century to the seventeenth century - were objects of devotion of the nuns who inhabited the Monastery of Arouca since the Middle Ages until the year 1886, when the last abbess died. It is the most complete collection of monastic Portuguese art that remains in loco, in a building classified as a National Monument in 1910.
