Braga, a city in the Minho province of Portugal, is known for its rich history and stunning landmarks. One of the most iconic sights in the Basilica and famous staircases of Bom Jesus. The Green Staircase, with its vibrant greenery and intricate design, leads visitors to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A photograph captures an important moment in Portuguese history - the first meeting of the new Portuguese Ministry. Dr Alfonso Costa stands on the extreme left, while H Jose Almeida stands next to him. Dr Braga sits near the center, symbolizing his significant role in shaping Portugal's future. As dusk falls over Braga, Bom Jesus do Monte shines beautifully against the fading light. The historic Church (Basilica) and public garden at Tenoes offer a peaceful retreat for locals and tourists alike. On sunny days, one can admire the neoclassical Basilica surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens. Legend has it that St. Martin shared his cloak with a beggar as an act of kindness and compassion. This story resonates throughout Braga's culture as a reminder to help those less fortunate. The chapel on the route of stations at Bom Jesus do Monte takes visitors on a spiritual journey through Europe's past. Each detail within this sacred space holds significance and tells stories from centuries ago. In addition to religious sites, Braga boasts architectural marvels such as windows adorned with intricate designs found in palaces across town. These windows serve as reminders of Braga's grandeur during different periods in history.
