    Hiking

    The parish church of Santa Maria is located in the historic center of Bragança. Dating back to the 16th century, the church combines various architectural styles, with an emphasis on Manueline and Baroque. The façade is simple, but the interior is impressive, with its main altarpiece featuring gilded carvings, historic tiles, and beautiful sacred paintings.

    Hiking

    The Church of Santa Maria, also known as the Church of Our Lady of Sardão, is considered the oldest church in Bragança and is a must-see for anyone visiting the Citadel. Located within the walls, it is in a privileged setting, right next to the famous Domus Municipalis and a few steps from the castle's Keep. Baroque Facade: The entrance stands out for its beautiful portal flanked by two Solomonic (twisted) columns decorated with vines and bunches of grapes, a detail much praised by visitors.
