The construction of this building, in the romanesque style, must have taken place during the 12th century. There is a very strong possibility that there had been, in the same place, an older religious structures, although there is no evidence of such, except for references in some written documents of the time.This church reveals several architectural alterations in different periods, directly related to the religious history of the Kingdom of Portugal. By analysing its arquitectural strutcture and considering the religious history and the religious orders related to this monument, an attempt has been made to understand the historical and architectural development of the Monastery of Santa Maria das Júnias and, more specifically, of its Church. |
