Monastery Maria

Along a main road in northern Portugal stands an abandoned monastery, hidden behind overgrown bushes and crumbling walls. The building has been left to decay for many years. Roofs have collapsed, and the wooden floors are rotten and dangerous. Yet the small church in the center still radiates a quiet dignity. The altar, adorned with weathered carvings, and the pulpit bear witness to a time when prayers once filled this space. Now, only silence remains.
