The Singeverga monastery, belonging to the Benedictine friars, is a relatively recent and impressive construction, whose origins date back to 1892, having been restored in the mid-20th century.<\/p>\n
Inside, a valuable collection of sacred art is preserved, including a gilded and carved silver pyx, adorned with fine precious stones, as well as collections of African art and butterflies. Also from this monastery is a gilded silver monstrance with stones, dating from the 18th century.<\/p>\n
In the chapter room, a polychrome wooden image of Saint Benedict from the 17th century stands out.<\/p>\n
Nearby there is a seminary where the famous Singeverga liqueur is produced.<\/p>\n
The Monastery of S\u00e3o Bento de Singeverga is also distinguished by its architectural plan, as currently only a third of the original project has been completed.<\/p>\n
Initially, the monastery was shaped like a P, with a segment added to form an R on the occasion of its centenary in 1992, the year of the last intervention. In the central space of the three-story building, there is a beautiful and well-kept garden.<\/p>\n
Without a doubt a very interesting place to visit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
