Ancient church/monastery which was restored recently (2014) to its former glory & still bares the french revolutionary troops' bullet holes in some of the paintings inside the church.

Monumento nacional. Lugar de culto, também importante como Património histórico. É o "centro" de Amarante.

Situada na região do Baixo Tâmega, Amarante é uma cidade vizinha de Penafiel que vale a pena conhecer. O seu centro histórico, composto pelo conjunto arquitetónico, de estilo Barroco - o Mosteiro e a ponte de S. Gonçalo e as igrejas de S. Domingos e de S. Pedro, são um dos principais espólios nacionais, que Porto e Braga completam. Vale a pena circular pelas ruas estreitas, apreciar o Rio Tâmega e as belas paisagens verdejantes.
