The Sanctuary of Braga for the Portuguese

There is a saying in Portugal: Enjoy in Lisbon, work in Porto, study in Coimbra, and pray in Braga. As an ancient parish, Braga has a strong religious atmosphere, with churches everywhere and a fair number of tourists. The professor said that Braga has a simple local custom and is very safe. He took me to see the western city gate and mentioned that it would have been better if it was a sunny day. Looking through the city gate, the large sunset was incredibly beautiful. Then we visited the oldest Braga Cathedral, which, he said, has a history that predates that of Portugal itself. It was built over several centuries and bears rich traces of different eras, almost serving as a condensed history of Braga. The high domes inside the cathedral and the gold-plated decorations on both sides are very grand and luxurious. In the adjacent rooms, there are many coffins of local dignitaries and religious figures from various generations.

Braga in Portugal is just beautiful. This city is full of flowers. The architecture in this city is a little bit more modern than any other cities in Portugal, however the city design is fantastic especially with many flower garden around the city. Do take a walk around the city, it is really amazing. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
