Description
Starting with the church, erected between 1628 and 1661, on the site of the Romanesque temple, the Refectory Cloister was reorganized and the Cemetery Cloister was built. Until 1700, the conventual wings were raised, which included the Ordinance, Receipt, Dormitory, Inn, Chapter Room and Bookstore.
The church is one of the grandest temples in the country and one of the greatest landmarks of Baroque art. The beginning of the works is still affiliated to a Mannerist current, but the Baroque would triumph in the numerous works developed throughout the second half of the 17th century and throughout the 18th century. In it, architects such as Manuel Álvares and André Soares worked, and the Mosteiro shipyard was even a learning center from which masters, sculptors and imagery radiated throughout the North of the country.
Sold at public auction in 1864, the Tibães Monastery and its entire 40 h, have a predominantly agricultural use, keeping the church and cloister in parochial use. In 1894, a fire destroyed the cloister of the cafeteria, cafeteria and the chapter and convent dorms. In the twentieth century, the progressive abandonment to which it was subjected caused the ruin to spread to the areas of the old coristate and novitiate, kitchens, ovens and cellars. In 1986 it became state property. The group has been gradually intervened and through measures that integrate or reintegrate old functions (case of the Parish House). At present, in addition to continuing with some spaces in shared use with the parish, such as the church and the cloister, the re-founding of a religious community, the creation of the Museum (...) and the viability of a Information on Monastic Orders and Historical Gardens, taking into account the importance of the Monastery in the Portuguese "Benedictine route".
