A few years ago my wife and I walked through Viana do Castelo, whilst walking the Camino Portuguese and I saw Santuario de Santa Luzia on the hill but didn’t have time to visit. Last week we were back in Viana do Castelo and decided to visit and were not disappointed. Due to it being such a hot day we decided to make the journey up and down via the funicular railway, which itself is impressive. Santuario de Santa Luzia is a fantastic dome roofed church with beautiful paintings on the ceiling. The building is both impressive inside and out. From the steps the views over Viana do Castelo and the Atlantic Ocean as amazingly. Santuario de Santa Luzia is definitely worth a visit.

Recommended by our wonderful hotel (Casa Manuel Espregueira e Oliveira), it looks like just another 18 Century refaced building which you can see pretty much anywhere in Portugal. But go inside, and it is something special: I am not religious but my word, the sheer beauty and peace of the building held my attention for way longer than I would ever have imagined. As others have said, it’s just €1 as an entry fee: at €3 it would still have been astonishing value. They should reprice, and release even more money to protect this amazing space.

A Igreja do Espírito Santo é uma das mais valiosas jóias do Barroco português, classificada em 1977 como Imóvel de Interesse Público, renascendo hoje com um novo esplendor através do Centro Interpretativo do Barroco. No interior, encontramos alguns dos melhores exemplares da Arte religiosa portuguesa dos séculos XVII e XVIII, que convidamos que sejam descobertos numa visita ao monumento e aos seus vastos recursos interpretativos.
