Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Braga Cathedral was built in 1070 and is located on the Braga Hill. It is one of the oldest buildings in Portugal and a symbol of the city's religion, with numerous pilgrims coming every year. The church was built by the famous Joao de Stillo in the twelfth century by order of Enrique and Teresa, whose tombs are built in the cloister of the cathedral. There are 12 tile paintings hanging on the walls of the church, which are very beautiful and show the superb carving and painting craftsmanship. The architecture of the church combines Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles, and is a historical and cultural heritage of Braga.

The Braga Church is in the city center, quite spectacular architecture. It’s enough to come here for a day, there’s nothing to play in this city to take pictures and see the scenery.
Portugal's #Braga Church# and #Mount Mercy Jesus Pilgrimage# feel very special and unique. And the church here is relatively "pocket", but it is as beautiful as it is beautiful.
Beautiful scenery, convenient transportation and a long history.
The Braga church has three areas to visit, each with different combinations of tickets, we chose a 3 Euro ticket to visit the church interior and several Chapels. The staff held a large bunch of keys in their hands and opened each Chapel door one by one to lead us on the tour. She can only explain in Portuguese, so when we meet people who don't understand Portuguese, we can only say a few numbers and tell us the age of each Chapel. Here, you can also visit the second floor of the church shrine. This is the first time I have stood in this position of the church. It is a very special experience. All these places can't be photographed, so it's good to feel it with your eyes.
