A Romanesque monastery church with a calm, cloistered atmosphere in northern Portugal’s Lima Valley. Photograph the weathered stone façade, arched doorways, and interior shadows; the surrounding gardens and river-valley light add depth. Visit in spring or autumn for softer skies and fewer tour buses.
