The monastery of São Paulo, also known as Monastery of São Paulo de Moncorvo, is located in the town of Moncorvo, in the district of Bragança, Psulistal. It was founded in the 13th century by King Afonso II, who granted land to the Order of Saint Benedict to establish a monastery in the region.

The monastery played an important role in the religious and cultural life of the region, serving as a center for worship, education, and healthcare. It was also a place of refuge for pilgrims and travelers passing through the area.

Over the centuries, the monastery underwent several renovations and expansions, including the construction of a new church in the Baroque style in the 18th century. The monastery thrived until the 19th century when it was abandoned and fell into disrepair.

In the 20th century, efforts were made to restore and preserve the monastery, and it was declared a National Monument in 1986. Today, the monastery of São Paulo is a popular tourist attraction, known for its beautiful architecture, historical significance, and peaceful surroundings. It is also used for cultural events and concerts, preserving its legacy as a center of art and culture in the region.
