Bom Jesus do Monte — Baroque Stairway
White zigzag terraces lead the eye uphill towards a twin-towered church above Braga.

The story behind the place
Bom Jesus do Monte turns a steep hillside into a carefully composed religious landscape. Its Baroque stairways combine repeated flights, landings, fountains and sculpture on the ascent towards the church. Follow the white walls as they switch from side to side, then find the dark granite details that give the pattern its sharp outlines.
