Afonso Henriques made a promise: if he succeeded in conquering the city, he would commission the construction of a monastery dedicated to Saint Vincent, a highly worshipped Saint among the Mozarabs. This monastery was founded in the same year “outside” of the city walls, thus justifying the building’s toponymy.
