Refojos de Basto

Refojos de Basto is a parish in Cabeceiras de Basto with a historic central role in the town. The municipal page describes it as an old settlement that developed around the Monastery of S. Miguel de Refojos, a former monastic couto, and highlights Republic Square, the statue of “O Basto” and other buildings of local interest. For a structured cultural visit, the most documented site is the Monastery of S. Miguel de Refojos: the municipality provides historical information, a gallery and visitor rules, with routes that include the church, the Sacred Art Museum, and, on the more extensive route, areas such as the cloister, tower, former library, noble hall, staircase and refectories. The Cultural Heritage, I.P. record lists the protected complex as religious architecture/convent and identifies the church, the sacristy and the ceiling of a room in the former monastery as protected assets.
