Património da Humanidade, começou a ser edificado em 1538, sendo terminado apenas por volta de 1670. No inicio foi criado com o intuito e albergar os Frades Agostinhos do Mosteiro de Grijó. Mais tarde, durante a Guerra Civil de 1832-1834, o exercito liberal instalou-se no mosteiro. Fruto da guerra e dos ataques constantes que sofreu, ficou num estado deplorável de ruína e abandono, até que em 1834, com a criação da Real Irmandade de Nª Srª do Pilar, e posteriormente do Grupo de Amigos do Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, em 1925, se recuperou o conjunto museológico.

World Cultural Heritage, it started being built in 1538, and was concluded only around 1670. At first it was created in order to accommodate the Augustinian Friars of the Monastery of Grijó. Later, during the Civil War of 1832-1834, the liberal army settled in the monastery. As a result of the war and of the constant attacks it suffered, it was in a terrible state of disrepair and neglect, until in 1834 with the creation of the Royal Brotherhood of Lady of the Pilar, and later the Group of Friends of the Monastery of Serra do Pilar, in 1925, the whole building was recovered.
