The Chagas Monastery, designed for the Poor Clares, was founded in 1588 by the Bishop of Lamego, D. António Teles de Menezes, whose tombstone can be seen in the main chapel.
Some chapels, of richly polychromed carving, were transferred to the Museum of Lamego, where they can be admired.
From what remains of the former Convent of the Chagas, we find ourselves in the current Church, on the front of which stands the Renaissance-style portico, flanked by two beautiful Corinthian columns. At the top of the arch stands out the coat of arms of the founding bishop.
Location: Near the Lyceum and the Garden of the Republic.
Inside, enjoy the painting of the central vault; beautiful 17th century tiles; carving of altars worthy of interest; admirable altarpiece of St. John the Baptist, Portuguese Baroque; a remarkable seventeenth-century golden altarpiece in the chapel of S. João Evangelista
