Church Notes: IGESPAR (ibid.) notes: "Iniciado por meados do século XII -- embora alguma tradição aponte que tenha sido fundado no século IX, a crer no que pretensamente se atesta num documento do ano de 882 citado por Jorge Rodrigues (Rodrigues, 1995, p. 245) --, é um vasto templo que se ergueu por iniciativa dos beneditinos cluniacenses e que, no início do século XIV, ainda era objecto de uma campanha ao nível da ábside, atestável no tipo de frestas, similares às de Paço de Sousa. A solidez volumétrica da construção, de óbvia sugestão bélica, bem patente na torre ameada e nas escassas frestas, permanece como memória dos sucessivos ataques e devastações a que o mosteiro foi sujeito. Após uma reconstrução efectuada em finais do século X, o mosteiro conhecerá, ao longo dos séculos XII e XIII, uma época de paz, conquistando independência tutelar entre 1121-1128 e concretizando ainda um sólido florescimento patrimonial nos primórdios da fundação do território nacional. Das reconstruções efectuadas por intervenção do abade Estevão I em inícios do século XIV resulta a permanência do traço românico da igreja, que se mantém até hoje; contudo, os elementos estruturais mais antigos remontam ainda ao século XII e estão perfeitamente documentados na simplicidade decorativa do tímpano no portal sul do mosteiro.

IGESPAR [www.igespar.pt/pt/patrimonio/pesquisa/geral/patrimonioimovel/detail/70221/] [accessed 21 April 2013] notes a baptismal font of the 16th century in this church ["campanha quinhentista. Desta campanha subsiste ainda uma pia baptismal"], but illustrates two fonts, one in the funerary chapel ["capela funerária"] and another in the nave. Not mentioned in IGESPAR is an interesting object in the monastery garden, somewhat similar to an ancient baptismal font, but, given some of its characteristics (four side drains, uncharacteristic shape of the basin well, etc.), it may perhaps a fountain or lavabo of the earlier period of the monastery. [NB: local views of the use of this object appear to incline towards the font functio, as indicated in the following excerpt from a communication from Joost Limburg to BSI [e-mail of 15 October 2016]: "Re the minor update: A couple of years ago we've been discussing this strange object ("The Thing") outside of the church in Cete. Yesterday my friend Miguel Sousa, who used to work for the Rota do Românico, called to tell me he had revisited the church and talked with some elderly people from the village about The Thing. And they confirmed that it used to be the old font of the church. Of course this is hardly scientific evidence, but hopefully enough to convince to R do R staff to investigate it further - at least Miguel said he will try and urge them to do so."
