Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira is a collegiate church in Guimarães, Portugal. It is classified as a National Monument.
History
The church was founded as a double monastery in about 949 by Countess Mumadona Dias, the widow of Count Hermenegildo González. It was donated to the Catholic Church by King Ramiro II. In 1074/1075, Pope Gregory VII prohibited double monasteries and by 1089 the monastery transitioned to a single monastery. Around 1139, the monastery was turned into the collegiate church {{ill|Colegiada de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira|pt}}. The collegiate church was shut down in 1911, but reopened in 1967.{{cite web |title=Igreja e Colegiada de Guimarães / Igreja Paroquial de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira / Museu Alberto Sampaio |url=http://www.monumentos.gov.pt/Site/APP_PagesUser/SIPA.aspx?id=5247 |website=monumentos.gov.pt |publisher=Sistema de Informacao para o Patrimonio Arquitectonico |access-date=23 August 2023 |language=Portuguese}}
