City of Braga
With more than 2000 years of a rich history, it has one of the oldest Sacro-Montes in all of Europe and the standard-bearer of the Minhota region, Bom Jesus. It is in Braga that you can find the oldest Cathedral in Portugal and the Mother House of the Benedictines, the Monastery of Tibães.
Braga presents places that, due to their intrinsic devotion and beauty, impose themselves as landmarks of mandatory reference and visit. The Sanctuary of Sameiro, Bom Jesus and Falperra, based on an appealing religious base, are surrounded by ecstatic green spaces and paradisiacal landscapes.
The Roman legacy is another of the attractive factors of Braga, often nicknamed 'Portuguese Rome', as a result of its origin in the Roman city of Bracara Augusta. Known for its distinctive churches, splendid 18th century houses, gardens, parks and leisure spaces. Braga's long history is visible in all the splendor of its monuments, museums and churches.
