    Magnificent Viewpoint

    The Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, popularly known as the Shrine of Santa Luzia, is a Catholic Christian shrine located on the hill of Santa Luzia, in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, in the city, municipality, and district of Viana do Castelo, Portugal.

    A "bookplate" and calling card of the city of Viana do Castelo, its location offers a unique view of the region, harmonizing the sea, the Lima River with its valley, and the entire surrounding mountain complex. The panorama is considered the third best in the world according to National Geographic (1927).

    The architectural project (1899) was designed by the architect Miguel Ventura.
