Founded in 1318 by D. Afonso Sanches and D. Teresa Martins, the building we know is a construction of the eighteenth century, since, since the mid-seventeenth century, the building was on the brink of ruin and unable to nuns that lived there. However, given the serious problems that the country went through in eight hundred and with the extinction of monastic orders, the works were incomplete. Between 1929/1932, the General Directorate of National Buildings and Monuments carried out works of intervention and completion of the facades, in which it is one of the most emblematic monuments of Vila do Conde.

The church and the monastery are closed to the public, they are building a five star hotel or something like that. It's a pity since the church from outside is stunning and so is the aqueduct. Nice view of the city, worth coming even if the church it's not visitable.

This building is really massive and you can see its really old. I have just seen it from outside and it took my attention for 15 mins. Now id you are able to, see it and find some time to check it out. And there is a bridge wir a river that goes into the see.

La institución del Monasterio de Santa Clara data del 7 de mayo de 1318, siendo sus fundadores D. Afonso Sanches, hijo ilegítimo del rey D. Dinis, y su esposa, D. Teresa Martins de Meneses. Teresa era la nieta de Sancho IV de Castilla y descendiente directa en quinta generación de D. Maria País da Ribeira, la «Ribereña», amante del rey Sancho I de Portugal. Este último donó Vila do Conde a su amante, teniendo esta tierra llegado a la posesión de D. Teresa Martins por vía de sucesivas herencias.
