Lovely Portuguese province
Description:
Excursion to the city of Guimaraes - Cradle of the Nation
Guimaraes is the first capital of Portucale County. According to legend, Afonso Henriques I was born here, who later became the first king of Portugal, all the historical threads of the future first colonial empire of the world stretch here.
Inspection of the complex Bom Jezus or the Good Jesus of the Mount
The first chapel appeared on a forested elephant hill, towering over the city in the distant XIV century, and the current appearance of the sanctuary acquired at the end of the XVIII century. The ensemble, organically inscribed in the surrounding landscape, symbolizes the path of Christ to Calvary. Interesting is the symbolism of the lush Baroque staircase - the Fountains of the Five Senses, the Staircase of the Three Virtues and the church itself, with a unique plastic altar. The contrast of white walls and dark granite is unusually beautiful and attracts enthusiastic glances for several centuries.
Braga, the spiritual capital of Portugal
Braga is an ancient religious center, where the residence of the primate of Spain and Portugal is located. The main thing in Braga is the very atmosphere of rank piety. The city is often called “Portuguese Rome” for its abundance of religious buildings and all kinds of monuments of historical value.
