Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar Description
On a hill east of the Ponte de Dom Luis is the former Augustinian monastery of Serra do Pilar (17th C.). Adjoining the round church with its splendid dome is a cloister, also circular, its barrel vaulting borne on 36 Ionic columns. From the terrace there is what is probably the very best view over Oporto and the Douro Valley with its bridges.
