Arch of the New Gate, Braga, Norte, Portugal, Europe
The Arch of the New Gate, is a Baroque and Neoclassical arch, designed by André Soares in the late 18th century, in the civil parish of Sé, municipality of Braga, in northern Portugal. The triumphal arch which decorates the western entrance to the medieval wall of the city, was opened in 1512 and traditionally used to present the city's keys to dignitaries and celebrities. It was King Ferdinand who eventually completed the wall of city of Braga around 1373, a project begun during the reign of his predecessor King Denis, a project that called for a Torre da Porta Nova (Tower of the New City Gate). Around 1505, and lasting to 1532, archbishop Diogo de Sousa had people working on the construction of the Porta Nova (New Gate). This building project included a phase of rebuilding of the tower, around 1512. Sometime in the 17th century, Archbishop José de Bragança, ordered the reconstruction of the Porta Nova gate, to include the extension of Rococo decoration. As part of its construction (1772–1773), a statue representing the city of Braga was removed from the Edifício das Arcadas and installed on the arch of the new gate (around in 1772). Followed the following year by the archbishop (Gaspar de Bragança) ordering the transformation of the tower of the Porta Nova, to a triumphal arch in the Baroque style. The historic arch was used by the municipality, throughout the 20th century, to promotional and marketing campaigns, including the És de Braga, não fechas as portas (Your from Braga, do not close your gates) and Vai abaixo de Braga (Come under Braga) programs, among others. It is locked within an urban environment, within one of the city's primary arterial roads, in a transitory space between the Campo das Hortas and Rua D. Diogo de Sousa. Its sits between buildings with three to five storey heights, which are mostly commercial shops on the main floor and residences on the upper floors. In the immediate vicinity is a medieval tower, which now houses the Museu de Imagem, the arch representing the principal entrance to the medieval city. A double decorative composition on either facete, the arch has a Baroque western façade, and an emergente neoclassic eastern façade, highlighting the many faces of the designer André Soares. The western facete, with its interrupted rounded arch façade, is a Baroque arch flanked by four pilasters and crowned by plinths with pyramidal pinnacles. The interrupted curved arch façade is decorated by the coat of arms of archbishop Gaspar of Bragança, above which is the allegorical figure of the city of Braga. The eastern façade, with only two relief pilasters, is surmounted by and image of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré (Our Lady of Nazareth) in a recessed niche.
Braga Cathedral, Braga, Norte, Portugal, Europe
The Cathedral of Braga is one of the most important monuments in the city of Braga, in Northern Portugal. Due to its long history and artistic significance it is also one of the most important buildings in the country. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Braga. The Diocese of Braga dates from the 3rd century AD, being one of the oldest in the peninsula and the centre for the Christianisation of Gallaecia (Northwestern Iberia). When Roman power was being dissolved by invading Germanic tribes, Braga (then called Bracara Augusta) became the capital of the Suebi Kingdom (409 to 584). Bishop Martin of Dumio, a great religious figure of the time, converted the Suebi to Catholicism around 550. The importance of Braga diminished during Visigoth times, and after the arrival of the Moors (716) it lost its bishop seat. The bishopric of Braga was restored around 1071, after the city was back into Christian hands, and Bishop Pedro started to build a cathedral, consecrated in 1089 (only the Eastern chapels were finished). Starting in 1093, the County of Portugal was ruled by Count Henry of Burgundy who, together with Bishop Geraldo de Moissac, managed to convince the Pope to turn Braga into an archbishopric in 1107. The archbishop of Braga had power over a large region in Northwestern Iberia, including most of Portugal and part of Galicia, in today Spain. Construction on the cathedral was then resumed and lasted until the middle of the 13th century, but the details are obscure. The original 12th century-building was built in the Burgundian Romanesque style of the monastery church of Cluny. It influenced many other churches and monasteries in Portugal in that period. In later times the cathedral was greatly modified, so that today it is a mix of romanesque, Gothic, manueline and baroque styles. Particularly important were the addition of new chapels and the entrance gallery in gothic style, the new manueline main chapel, and the various additions in baroque times like the towers, chapels and much inner decoration. Braga Cathedral has three aisles covered by a wooden roof, a transept and five Eastern chapels in the apse. None of the chapels is original romanesque anymore: the main chapel is manueline, while the others are heavily decorated in baroque style. In the North wall outside of the cathedral there is a small chapel, of early romanesque design, that may be a remnant of the late 11th building. This chapel was left outside of the final cathedral, perhaps due to a change of design in the 12th century. The nave is essentially romanesque thanks to a purifying reform in the 20th century that suppressed most later additions, although most original capitals of the columns have been lost. D. Afonso, son of King John I, is buried in a 15th-century tomb made of bronze, which can be seen in the nave of the Cathedral. A high choir was added near the entrance of the cathedral in the baroque period. This choir is beautifully decorated with a painted ceiling and sculptured gilt wood (talha dourada) choir stalls executed around 1737 by Miguel Francisco da Silva. In front of the high choir there are two gilt wood organs, carved by renowned sculptor Marceliano de Araújo in the 1730s, heavily decorated with baroque and fantastic motifs. These are among the most impressive gilt wood works in Portugal. The main chapel is roofed with stone rib vaulting and its walls are decorated with a 14th-century statue of the Virgin Mary (Nossa Senhora de Braga). During the remodelling of the chapel, Archbishop Diogo de Sousa also commissioned a stone altar, but most of it has been lost. The part still preserved is used as altar table and has beautiful reliefs of Christ and the Apostles. The choir stalls are neogothic. The other chapels of the apse are decorated in baroque or neoclassical styles. The chapel of Saint Peter of Rates is particularly interesting, being decorated with typical blue-white tiles that tell the life of the saint. The author of the tiles is António de Oliveira Bernardes, one of the main 18th century-Portuguese tile painter. Several chapels were built adjacent to the cathedral in the Middle Ages. The Chapel of the Kings (Capela dos Reis) was built around 1374 in the place where Count Henrique and Countess Theresa, parents of the first Portuguese King, were buried. Their tombs were substituted in the early 16th century by new ones, with recumbent figures. The gothic Chapel of the Glory (Capela da Glória) was built between 1326 and 1348 to be the resting place for Archbishop Gonçalo Pereira. He commissioned a magnificent tomb for himself to sculptors Master Pero, an Aragonese, and Telo Garcia, a Portuguese.

BRAGA - PORTUGAL - VISITE À PIED
Braga - Portugal - Visite à pied
Braga, fondée il y a plus de 2000 ans, est la plus ancienne ville du Portugal et c'est la troisième ville en importance au pays.
En 2019, elle se classe au second rang des meilleurs destinations européennes car elle offre la meilleure qualité de vie au pays.
J'ai planifié un itinéraire qui nous a permis de découvrir différents attraits de cette ville. ll sera présenté à la fin de ce texte.
Devant la basilique, il y a quelques espaces de stationnement disponibles de l'autre côté de la rue. C'est à cet endroit que nous avons stationné notre voiture.
Nous avons débuté notre visite par la Cathédrale (Sé) qui a été déclarée monument national. Elle a été érigée au 11e siècle. Cependant, elle a subi d'importantes transformations entre les 16e et 18e siècles.
C'est ici que sont enterrés les parents du premier roi du Portugal D. Afondo Henriques.
Nous n'avons visité que la cathédrale (2 euros). Cependant, il est également possible de visiter les chapelles du cloître et le trésor-musée, moyennant des frais de 5 euros, incluant la cathédrale.
Nous sommes ensuite passé sous l'Arche de la Nouvelle Porte (Arco da Porta Nova) construite à la fin du 18e siècle afin de relier la ville médiévale à la nouvelle ville.
Tout près, il y a une magnifique fontaine baroque (Campo Das Hortas) située dans un joli jardin faisant face à la maison d'hôtes Casa Grande.
Nous nous sommes rendus par la suite à l'église de Pópulo (Igreja do Pópulo) dont les murs intérieurs sont tapissés d'azulejos illustrant des épisodes de la vie de Saint-Augustin.
Nous sommes passés devant l'Hôtel de Ville (Câmara Municipal) devant lequel est érigée une jolie fontaine. Tous les deux datent du milieu du 18e siècle.
A proximité de l'Hôtel de Ville se trouve l'un des plus beaux jardins de cette ville, le jardin de Santa Bárbara. Il est entouré de bâtiments historiques dont le palais médiéval.
En nous dirigeant avers la Place de la République (Praca da República), nous avons croisé l'Église des Tertiaires (Igreja dosTerceiros). Son intérieur est particulièrement joli avec ses murs recouverts d'azulejos et ses éléments architecturaux.
Située sur la Place de la République, l'Arcade de la Lapa (Arcada da Lapa) date du début du 18e siècle.
Autrefois, elle abritait un marché public, tandis qu'aujourd'hui, on y retrouve des cafés historiques dont le Café Vianna ainsi que le café Astória.
L'Église de la Lapa (Igreja da Lapa) fut érigée au milieu de l'arcade.
On y retrouve également une belle grande fontaine.
Juste à côté se trouve le Largo Barão de São Martinho. qui est très animé. Pas étonnant, puisque s'y trouvent plusieurs boutiques ainsi qu'un autre café historique, le Café A Brasileira
Nous sommes passés devant le Largo do Paço, une toute petite place bordée par le Palais Épiscopal (Paço Episcopal), l'ancien palais des archevêques. Il abrite aujourd'hui le rectorat de l'université de Minho.
Au centre de cette place sied la Fontaine des Châteaux (Chafariz dos Castelos) qui date du début du 18e siècle.
Nous n'avons fait que passer devant la Chapelle des Coimbras (Capela dos Coimbras) puisqu'elle ne se visite pas. Elle a été construite au 16e siècle. Sa tour est ornée de différentes statues.
Par la suite, nous nous sommes rendus au Largo Carlos Amarante où sont érigées deux églises de style baroque: l'Église de São Marcos ainsi que l'Église de Santa Cruz.
On peut voir entre autres les statues des apôtres (en taille réelle) érigées sur la balustrade supérieure de l'église de São Marcos.
Quant à l'Église de Santa Cruz, elle se distingue par sa façade décorée d'ornements architecturaux finement sculptés ainsi que sa décoration intérieure.
Nous sommes passés devant le Théâtre Circo (Theatro Circo) dont l'inauguration a eu lieu en 1915. Il est considéré comme un des plus beaux théâtres du Portugal. Sa façade est d'ailleurs majestueuse.
Ce théâtre a été fermé en 1999 afin d'effectuer sa restauration. Sa réouverture a eu lieu en octobre 2006.
Une visite guidée des lieux est possible. L'horaire peut varier en fonction de la programmation.

5ª Etapa: Braga – Viana do Castelo - 169,4 Km
«Há precisamente 50 anos, Peixoto Alves, ciclista do Benfica, ganhava a Volta. A saída de Braga vai permitir assinalar este feito com a partida real a registar-se na freguesia de Palmeira, de onde é natural este histórico do ciclismo nacional.
O Alto Minho é o grande destaque, num percurso relativamente fácil. Será no Santuário de Santa Luzia, na curta escalada de três quilómetros, que serão ajustadas as contas do dia.»

Chapel of Saint Lawrence, Gijón, Asturias, Spain, Europe
This baroque ensemble formed by chapel, tower and later body destined to residence was constructed at the end of century XVII, forming part of the baroque extension that expanded the nucleus of Cimavilla towards the old district of Bajovilla, whose occupation began in century XVI. The chapel of San Lorenzo, built in 1668, recalls that of Our Lady of Guadalupe, with a half-point arch cover topped by a broken curved pediment and a steeple decorated with pinnacles and balls. The tower, square and with crenellated battlement, emulates the medieval constructions and uses the sillar as decorative element, as well as baroque moldings that insinuate broken ears.
