It was built by order of Egas Moniz, Alfonso Henriques' aunt in law, and his wife Teresa Afonso, in 1155. The Cistercian presence in the Varosa Valley started in the 12th century when Count Afonso Henriques granted a letter of couto to the first Cistercian community in the region in 1140. Thus was born the Monastery of São João de Tarouca, which was joined in 1156 by the neighbouring Monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas. The future of the Douro was beginning to take shape here, with the Cistercians putting all their knowledge and expertise into the development of the region's wine industry, changing the landscape and contributing to the excellence that is now recognised by UNESCO. In its time, it was one of the largest Cistercian monasteries in Portugal, flanked to the south by vast cultivated land and to the east by a small town that grew into a uniform house.
