The Casa de Cerca forms part of the historical centre of Amarante, a pretty riverside town to the east of Oporto, dominated by the monastery (and the memory) of Sao Goncalo. It occupies a site roughly corresponding to the former fourteenth-century convent of Santa Clara, which was largely destroyed by fire during the Napoleonic invasion of 1809. Subsequently, it was demolished and transformed into a private house, the Casa de Cerca, for a wealthy local landlord, leaving only a ruined side chapel and a walled enclosure as the remaining vestiges of the original convent.
