SantoTirso grew around the former monastery of São Bento, founded by the Benedictines in the 8th century, later rebuilt and then modified in the 17th century.
SantoTirso lies beside the river Ave and the bucolic charm of its river banks, woods and gardens, characterized by a generous vegetation, still remains but is somewhat deceiving as it is also nowadays a major textile centre.
At about 13 km (8 miles) from SantoTirso, Roriz displays the Romanesque church of St. Peter: the date of 1228 is carved in the porch, although some belive that a church stood there earlier, and it has a fine rose window over the portal.
