Vigília da Águia

Like a stone sentinel guarding sacred ground, the ornate fountain rises from its verdant sanctuary, its eagle crown still presiding over the hushed gardens where water once danced and sparkled. Beyond these weathered basins lies a tale of devotion spanning centuries - from humble 11th-century beginnings to grand 17th-century renewal, when ancient prayers found voice in new stones, creating the monastery we see today.

Vigília da Águia

In the hushed stillness of these sacred grounds, nature now offers its own form of reverence. Where once monks walked in contemplative silence, wild flowers push through ancient stones, and ivy embraces weathered walls. This once-mighty spiritual fortress stands at a crossroads, its future uncertain as modern society grapples with preserving these precious fragments of cultural heritage.
