Mondim da Beira, located in the heart of the Southern Douro region, is an enchanting village where the past murmurs in the ancient walls and Nature sets the rhythm.
Surrounded by terraced vineyards, mountain trails, and a rich religious heritage, it is a region steeped in traditions, flavors, and authenticity—a setting where you wake to birdsong, feel the seasons in the air, and savor life at a leisurely pace. A destination for those seeking to return to the essentials and rediscover the charm of simplicity.
A heritage that tells stories.
Monasteries, churches, and medieval monuments reveal centuries of devotion, art, and tradition.
The Monastery of São João de Tarouca , founded in 1140, is the first Cistercian monastery in Portugal, while the Monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas impresses with its grandeur and silence.
The Church of São Pedro de Tarouca is a small jewel of the local heritage, and the Chapel of São Pedro de Balsemão , one of the oldest Visigothic chapels in the Iberian Peninsula, bears witness to the remote origins of the Christian faith.
The Ucanha Bridge and Fortified Tower , a former toll point, is now the ideal setting to sample the traditional Tarouca-style corn dishes. Lamego Cathedral stands out as one of the region's greatest symbols, and Pinhão Station invites you to discover the Douro Valley through a cruise among vineyards and terraced fields.
