Commemorative Monument to His Holiness Pope John Paul II

Highlight • Monument

The monument commemorating His Holiness Pope John Paul II.

This group of sculptures signals the arrival of Pope John Paul II in the city of Braga in 1982.

It consists of three elements. A circular slab, a wall signifying the line of sight and the crypt consisting of three pyramids signifying the three sacro-montes of Braga (Bom Jesus, Sameiro and Falperra).

It is housed in the Central Avenue garden.

Republic Square, Braga

Highlight • Settlement

As with other squares with the same name, Praça da República continues the Portuguese tradition of being one of the most important public spaces in Braga. Located on the western side of the city's historic center, it comes alive every day from mid-morning until late in the evening. During this time, it is filled with locals who come to enjoy a bite to eat at the cafes and restaurants that line the square, including Café Vianna and Café Astória, both of which have been serving customers for around 150 years. Others simply come expecting to bump into friends and family.

Café A Brasileira (Braga)

Highlight • Cafe

The pharmacist Adriano Soares Teles do Vale, who comes from Alvarenga in northern Portugal and works in Porto, grandfather of the filmmaker Luís Galvão Teles, emigrated to Brazil as a young man, where he became wealthy as a trader and coffee producer at the end of the 19th century. When his wife fell ill, he returned with her to Porto in 1903, where she died a little later. Here he turned to creating points of sale for his Brazilian coffee, which he called Casa Brasileira (Brazilian House) or A Brasileira (The Brazilian Woman).

Teles opened its first sales outlet in 1903 with what is now Café A Brasileira in Porto. This was followed by Lisbon, Coimbra, Aveiro and Seville in Spain. The restaurant in Braga opened its doors on March 17, 1907. After Café Vianna, which opened in 1871, it is now the second oldest café in the city.
