The earliest capital
of Portuguese Catholicism is an ancient Celtic city with
more than 300 churches. Religious processions are major
events here, especially during Easter Week or the
Festival of St. John the Baptist in June. These are
wonderful opportunities to visit Braga, touring its
Historic Centre or reliving the Pilgrimages to Santiago
that would pass through here.Outside the city, there is
the Way of the Marian Sanctuaries, the particular charm
of the Cordophone Museum and the Baroque splendour of
Bom Jesus do Monte, an important pilgrimage shrine.
