Resumo:The aim of this paper is to analyse the constructive process of one of the hydraulic systems of the Convent of Vilar de Frades, built in the 16th century, whose execution originated a multifunctional route of water use. Through the available sources, it was possible to recover the composition of the entire system, started by the construction of catchment and transport structures in 1595, until the moment it is completed by the placement of a fountain in the 16th century cloister, in 1597. In this process, carried out by the master mason Gonçalo Lopes, it is of particular importance the contract made between the mason and the convent, since it contained all the details about the building process, from the techniques and materials to be used to the obligations of the actors and the work conditions.
