Portugal’s third-largest city is an elegant town laced with ancient narrow lanes closed to vehicles, strewn with plazas and a splendid array of baroque churches. Braga is a lively city, one of the oldest in the country, and is teeming with young people who study at its universities. The constant chiming of bells is a reminder of Braga’s age-old devotion to the spiritual world. Its religious festivals – particularly the elaborately staged Semana Santa (Holy Week) – are famous throughout Portugal. But don’t come expecting piety alone: Braga’s upscale old centre is packed with lively cafes and trim boutiques, some excellent restaurants and low-key bars catering to students from the Universidade do Minho. In fact, it's such a young city that in 2012 it was pronounced the European Youth Capital.
It’s known for its religious heritage and events. To the east, Bom Jesus do Monte complex has a neoclassical church atop an elaborate 17-flight stairway. In the city center, medieval Braga Cathedral is home to a sacred art museum and the Gothic-style Kings' Chapel. Nearby, the imposing Archbishop’s Palace overlooks Santa Barbara Garden.
Places featured:
The Igreja de Bom Jesus (Church of the Good Jesus):
This church is one of the most remarkable examples of 18th (and early 19th) Century religious architecture anywhere-- if it weren't in little-visited northern Portugal, it would be far more famous. The church at the top of the mountain outside the city of Braga, completed in 1822 by Portuguese architect Carlos Amarante, replacing an earlier (15th Century) shrine at the same site. The fascination of Bom Jesus lies not in the church, but rather in the Escadaria (stairway) leading up the mountain-side. The Escadaria was originally devised by the Archbishop of Braga in 1722 to allow pilgrims to reach the earlier shrine; in its completed form (also by Almarante), it is one of the best examples of Baroque religious architecture in Iberia.
Santa Barbara Garden:
The Santa Barbara Garden is a must-see attraction for any visitor to Portugal’s historic city of Braga. Located within easy reach of the main square, the cathedral, and other Braga attractions, one can easily find it next to the former palace of the Archbishop. Built in a fortress-like style, the palace began being erected in the 14th century, undergoing several extensions and renovations subsequently, most notably in the 17th century.
The Cathedral of Braga:
The Cathedral of Braga is one of the city’s cultural highlights and a must-visit destination on your trip to Braga, Portugal. The Cathedral of Braga dates back to the 11th Century and it is now the oldest-surviving church in Portugal, fully befitting of the country’s third-largest and oldest city. The cathedral was commissioned by Count Henry of Burgundy and was built on the site of an old Romanesque building, a former Moorish mosque.

Sintra is known for its many 19th-century Romantic architectural monuments, which has resulted in its classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although its heritage in buildings and nature is the most visible face of the historic individuality of Sintra, a whole literary heritage has made the area a legendary reference in Portuguese culture. It has become a major tourist centre, visited by many day-trippers who travel from the capital Lisbon. In addition to the Sintra Mountains and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park, the parishes of the town of Sintra are dotted with royal retreats, estates, castles and other buildings, including the mediaeval Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena National Palace and the Sintra National Palace.

Amarante's origin dates to the primitive peoples that hunted and gathered in the Serra da Aboboreira, sometime during the Stone Age, and extended during the Bronze Age and later the Romanization of the Iberian peninsula.

Evora - Portugal Travel Channel
Evora, located in the heart of Portugal - the Alentejo region - was already inhabited in the Neolithic period. Evora was extended during the colonization of Portugal by the Romans. A huge viaduct, the castle and the beautiful Diana Temple are surviving memorials of this period. Later the Moors enlarged the castle and built a mosque.
Geraldo Geraldes the Fearless (Geraldo Sem Pavor) conquered Evora for King Afonso Henriques. The Moors were finally expelled with the support of the order of knights of the Avis. In 1166, the Avis made Évora their initial seat and named the order of knights Évora. A still largely preserved wall had been built to protect the town. Since the 12th century Portugal's kings were crowned in Évora. The town blossomed out to a centre of the humanism. In 1973 the University - founded in 1559 - was reopened after being closed in 1759. Évora had lost influence after the affiliation to Spain.
Other attractions include the Sé Cathedral, Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval and the Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos).
Since 1986 Évora belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Évora, im Herzen Portugals in der Region Alentejo gelegen, war bereits im Neolithikum besiedelt. Als die Römer das Land besiedelten, bauten sie in Evora aus. Ein riesiges Viadukt, die Burg und der prächtige Diana -- Tempel sind aus jener Zeit noch erhalten. Später erweiterten die Mauren die Burg und bauten eine Moschee.
Geraldo Geraldes, o Sem Pavor (= Gerald ohne Furcht) eroberte Évora für König Afonso Henriques. Endgültig vertrieben wurden die Mauren mit der Unterstützung des Ritterordens von Avis. Dieser macht Évora 1166 zu seinem anfänglichen Sitz und nennt sich auch Ritterorden Évora. Zur Befestigung der Stadt wird eine, noch weitestgehend erhaltene, Mauer gebaut. Seit dem 12. Jahrhundert ließen sich Portugals Könige in Évora, das zu einem Zentrum des Humanismus aufblühte, krönen. 1973 wird die 1559 gegründete Universität wieder eröffnet, nachdem sie 1759 geschlossen wurde. Évora hatte nach der Angliederung an Spanien an Einfluss verloren.
Weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind die Kathedrale Sé, der ehemalige Königssitz Paço dos Condes de Basto und das Beinhaus Capela dos Ossos.
Seit 1986 zählt Évora zum Weltkulturerbe der UNECO.
