The monastery of the Poor Clares of Ribnitz was first consecrated in 1330, but the present monastery church was begun in 1361 and consecrated in 1393. It consists of a large brick vaulted hall, consisting of six narrow rectangular bays with inwardly drawn buttresses, without a structurally separate choir. The houses of the convent are today popular apartments. The museum, the municipal library, the gallery, and the city archives make the convent grounds a cultural centre of the city. The monastery still has a number of remarkable medieval wooden sculptures, the "Ribnitz Madonnas".

The Upper Church (Gornja crkva) in Sremski Karlovci is an Orthodox temple surrounded by a monastery wall and an entrance gate.

The monastery of Conceptionist nuns (a branch of the Franciscan order) was founded in 1644 on the initiative of the bishop of Tortosa, Juan Bautista Veschi. He founded it in gratitude for a miraculous intervention of the Virgin in the war of 1642, hence the name Victoria. The monastery church is the work of the architect Juan Ibáñez.

Freixo de Baixo still stands today as a leading symbol of the monastic complex established by the manorial power and taken over by the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine. Deployed along a watercourse, in a fertile valley, the Monastery still impresses the visitor today. The persistence of the foundations of the original galilee and traces of the original cloister [inner courtyard of a monastery], along with a stout bell tower, gives this set an unusual monumentality in the panorama of Romanesque architecture in Portugal. The façade is the best-preserved element of the primitive Church. Reinforced by two corners, it features a sturdy portal whose archivolts are decorated with dihedral logs. The capitals feature animals facing each other, phytomorphic and botanic motifs, and braidings similar to São Pedro de Ferreira (Paços de Ferreira) and Salvador de Paço de Sousa (Penafiel). Inside the Church, the prominent frescoes stand out, visible on the north wall of the nave. It is a scene of the Epiphany of the Lord, attributed to the Master of 1510 who took part in making the paintings of Vila Verde and Pombeiro (Felgueiras) and the ones of Saint Nicholas (Marco de Canaveses).

The Monastery of the Saviour of Paço de Sousa was founded in the 10th century by Trutesendo Galindes and his wife Ana­mia. It was an important monastery of the Benedictine Order and was linked to the Ribadouro family. The Church, erected in the 13th century in the same location as the previous temple [12th century], demonstrates very unique decoration. It uses bevel-carved botanical ornamentation and develops long friezes in and outside the Church in the style of Visigoth and Mozarab architecture. Paço de Sousa was the birthplace of a trend based on the pre-Romanesque tradition and influenced by Romanesque themes from the Cathedral of Porto and the city of Coimbra, giving rise to what was known as "nationalized Romanesque".Inside the Church there is the Tomb of Egas Moniz de Ribadouro, squire of the king Afonso Henriques, which results from the joining of two funerary arks, one from the late 12th century and another from the 13th century. The chancel, the sacristy, the cloister and what remains of the monastic building date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. The set underwent restoration works in the 19th [1883 and 1887] and 20th [1927-1938] centuries.

The Monastery of Travanca impresses by its dimensions, especially the Church, built in the 13th century. Associated with the lineage of the Gascos, a member of which was Egas Moniz, the schoolmaster and governor of Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, was one of the most powerful monastic institutions in the Sousa region during the Middle Ages. Outside the three-nave Church, the main portal stands out, split in a protruding body, topped by a cornice on rectangular cantilevers and adorned with corbels [salient support stones] in the shape of bovine heads. The archivolts feature dihedric logs and their capitals are represented with birds with their necks entwined, snakes, human figures and monsters devouring naked men. The north side portal shows a similar composition. The interior is composed of diverse artistic and architectural solutions from the medieval period and later. The sacristy, whose Baroque spirit stands out in the arcades and ceiling paintings, highlights the major reforms initiated in the Modern Age. However, what stands out from the complex is the isolated tower, considered one of the tallest medieval Portuguese towers. Its military appearance is purely symbolic, emphasizing its richly carved portal, whose tympanum features a unique representation of the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God), raising a pattée cross.

The Monastery of the Three Hierarchs is an important 17th century monument, whose church was erected between 1637 and 1639 as a royal necropolis. In 1641 the relics of the Three Hierarchs (Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, John Chrysostom) were placed in the monastery church. Plundered and burned by armies (1650, 1686), shaken by earthquakes (1711, 1781, 1795, 1802), the church was restored between 1882 and 1904.

The Monastery of the Transfiguration, located in the gorge of Ovčar-Kablar, was originally situated on the other side (left) of the Western Morava, but was demolished in 1910 due to the construction of the railway Čačak-Višegrad. The first mention of the Monastery of the Transfiguration in written sources is related to the year 1525.

The Monastery of Ucles dates from 12th century. It is currently managed by a foundation. The complex is accessed through a baroque doorway, next to the south of the building. The conventual dependencies are distributed around a large cloister.
