The Convent of Santa Clara is a cloistered convent belonging to the order of the Poor Clares. It was founded in the 13th century, in 1260, by order of Queen Violante of Aragon, wife of King Alfonso X the Wise, using her dowry and popular donations.

Initially, it was located in the vicinity of the Sarela River. However, due to the poor conditions of the place, it was moved to its current location, on a piece of land donated by the Vidal family, near the so-called Porta da Pena.

The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria a Maior e Real de Sar was built in the 12th century on the banks of the river of the same name and declared a National Monument in 1895.

The church is a classic example of this architectural style. The work on the first monastery dates from the second third of the 12th century and began with the chapels of the chancel.
