Antigo Convento das Mónicas / Cadeia das Mónicas
The former Convento das Mónicas was founded in 1586 by the Abranches family, being then donated to the nuns. It kept is original drawing until the earthquake of 1755 when part of the church collapsed. After the extinction of the religious orders in 1836, the State transformed the building into a reformatory and later into a women’s prison.
