Amarante - Igreja e Convento de São Gonçalo


The settlement of Amarante became famous through the work of St. Gonçalo de Amarante (also known as São Gonçalo, 1187-1259). The Dominican friar settled here after his pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Rome. He was instrumental in the development of the region, with many local structures attributed to his efforts, including the construction of the stone bridge across the Tâmega River. Following his death, Amarante became the destination of pilgrimages and grew substantially.
In the 16th century, D. João III ordered the construction of the São Gonçalo monastery above the chapel where, according to tradition, São Gonçalo lived and was buried.
