The Castro de Avelãs Monastery is located nearby Bragança, Portugal. The church used to be part of a Benedictine monastery from the 12th century.

Nowadays, only the Romanic heading and apses in semicircular shape are preserved, as well as the blind superimposed arches.

This church is unique in Portugal due to its shape and brick positioning. It is certainly linked with the churches of the order of Cluny and the Camino de Santiago.
