The Abade Pedrosa Museum is housed in four rooms of the former Benedictine São Bento monastery and displays local archaeological finds. These include stone axes, bronze armlets and ceramics. The town of Santo Tirso, which lies beside the River Ave, grew around the monastery which was founded in the 8th century; it was later rebuilt and further modified in the 17th century and is now an agricultural college. The Gothic cloister features 14th century columns in pairs with interesting carved capitals
