When we got there it was still open at 530pm. We were super happy because it was quiet and we can stay to admire without a crowd. The beauty inside was quite impressive. Very detailed and well preserved. The courtyard with the arched ceiling was like something out of game of throne. Def worth visiting if you are in Amarante.
