Great Cathedral

A large and very beautiful religious monument

Opening Hours: The sanctuary is open every day, generally from 9 am to 6 pm. It is a place of worship, therefore masses are also held regularly. Price: Entry to the sanctuary is free. Accessibility: It has wheelchair accessible parking. How to Get There: Access to the site can be made by car or by the Nazaré Elevator (funicular), which connects the beach to the upper part of the city and provides a scenic route.

The Legend: The story of the image is told through the paintings in the church and sacristy, which allude to the miracle that occurred near the cliff. Location: The sanctuary is next to the famous Miradouro do Sítio da Nazaré (or Suberco), which offers a fantastic view of the beach and the village of Nazaré.

Architecture and History: The church was built on the site where, according to legend, the Virgin Mary saved the knight D. Fuas Roupinho from falling off the cliff. The facade has inscriptions in Latin, including "Deiparae Virgini a Nazareth" ("Virgin of Nazareth, Mother of God"). The interior houses the Sacred Image of the Black Virgin, carved in wood and which, according to tradition, was brought to the site in the year 711.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré is located in Sítio da Nazaré, the upper part of the town of Nazaré, in Portugal. It is a place of great religious and historical importance, intimately linked to the legend that gave rise to the devotion to Our Lady of Nazaré.
