All this in an urban, cosy and well preserved environment.This guide intends to help you making the best out of the city. Enjoy it!

Monuments and heritage

Bom Jesus SanctuaryThis fascinating place combines artistic work with nature’s splendor. Placed at the top of Monte Espinho with a privileged view over Braga’s city, the sanctuary is surrounded by a luxuriant wood. The sanctuary is one of Portugal’s first neoclassic exemplars, although

the Baroque and Rococo styles are also visible. Built in the18th and 19th centuries, it includes the church, the Sacred Road’s chapels and an imposing staircase you should climb to demonstrate that you are a person of faith. Don’t miss a trip in the elevator moved by water.

Porta Nova ArchConsidered a national monument since 1910, this was the old gate to Braga’s city. Opened in 1512 by order of the Archbishop D. Diogo de Sousa, the monument you observe today was built in 1722, and should be included in your visit!

Sé de Braga (Cathedral)The expression “as ancient as Braga’s cathedral” is very common in Portugal. Today we visit a temple that substituted another one destroyed in 967; its reconstruction started in 1070, so the cathedral is older than the Portuguese kingdom itself (1143). This building has been renovated several times over the centuries, which explains its big dimension and its astonishing overlapping of styles. A visit to the Cathedral’s Treasure Museum is also strongly advised.

Casa dos CoimbrasThis curious exemplar of Braga’s civilian architecture has its origins in an old house of the middle XV century. In the year 1505, João de Coimbra bought it and since that time it was often remodeled, including the construction of Casa dos Coimbras’ chapel. You can’t miss some of their windows in Manueline style that resisted a demolition in 1906. The IAMCR Reception on the 19 July will take place here.
