Introducing Braga

Known as the Rome of Portugal, Braga’s compact centre is packed with splendid baroque churches. Baroque churches, and the clamouring of their bells, are a constant reminder of who’s in charge here. Indeed, Braga has been a religious power centre since the conversion of the Visigoths in the 6th century. Its cathedral –built in the 12th century as Portugal was still being wrestled from the Moors – is the oldest in Portugal.

The hand of God even extends beyond the city to the area’s biggest attraction, the hillside sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, just to the east.
