The Cistercian Monastery of São Bento de Cástris, located on a small hill within the urban perimeter of Évora, is one of the first female convent foundations in the south of the country and the first in Évora.
Although there is no certainty as to the date of its foundation, the document requesting the adoption of the Cistercian rule by the Pope and the adoption of the first abbess, Domingas Soeira, dates back to the 13th century. The foundation of the church, built on an old chapel dedicated to St. Benedict, dates back to 1328.
