At the top of the mount that frames Viana do Castelo stands the “Santu\u00e1rio do Sagrado Cora\u00e7\u00e3o de Jesus”. Visible from kilometers away, as if welcoming those who enter the city, the temple crowns the “Princess of Lima”. Those who choose to climb the mount are rewarded with a breathtaking panorama, where the bucolic and lush valley merges with the modernity and urbanity of the city, all accompanied by the meandering Lima River that flows into the Atlantic, where we can still almost see the Caravels that once set sail for the Age of Discoveries – all in one place, all in one view.<\/p>\n
The sublime beauty of nature combines with human ingenuity, with the Sanctuary glorifying the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Santa Luzia, the advocate of sight, who earned the gratitude of Captain Lu\u00eds de Andrade e Sousa after he suffered from a serious eye ailment. In the former chapel of Santa Luzia, Andrade e Sousa asks Santa to help him, and after recovering, he thanks her by establishing the “Confraria de Santa Luzia” in Viana do Castelo.<\/p>\n
For visitors to the city or its residents, climbing mount is a sign of a different experience that will leave a sweet memory of the city. In addition to the imposing religious structure, you can also stroll through the secluded linden tree garden, have a picnic in the picnic area, and even climb to the dome, where you’ll enjoy a 360\u00ba view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
