Centerpiece of the Santuario is the main alter, absolutely stunning in the depiction of the crucifixion...never seen anything like it. Art features events of "Good Jesus": healing the sick, raising the dead, forgiving sinners.You don't have to climb the steps, there's parking at Sanctuary level.Also, all buildings are undergoing pressure washing. It appears to be about half done. Really makes a difference.

My wife and I have visit numerous Catholic Churches in various parts the world, but none has dramatic as the one at Bom Jesus do Monte. The Altar had the display of the Passion of Christ from his being handed over by Pontius Pilate to his Crucifixion.

This is a beautiful church with stunning views over Braga. I suggest taking the funicular to the top and then walking down the steps - it's the lazy way to do it!

If you are ever in Braga this is not to be missed. The views of the city from here are stunning. The beautiful gardens are well kept and the walk down the steps are worth it. The ice cream is also a delight. We visit Braga regularly and never miss a visit to Bom Jesus! Very highly recommended!!

Well worth a visit. Its a long set of steps, so make sure to walk down and take the funicular back up unless you are fit. Great to visit by day and night.
