Palace sights in Braga

  1. A

    Jardim de Santa Bárbara

    Outside the spiky-topped, medieval north wing of the Archbishop's Palace is the 17th-century square known as Jardim de Santa Bárbara, with narrow paths picking their way through a sea of flowers and topiary. On sunny days, the adjacent pedestrianised streets Rua Justino Cruz and Rua Francisco Sanches fill with buskers and café tables.

  2. B

    Torre de Menagem

    The square-shaped, crenellated tower behind the cafes is the walled-up Torre de Menagem, which is all that survives of a fortified medieval palace.
