Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Aires em Viana do Alentejo
Another touristic Monument is the “Sanctuaries de Nossa Senhora de Aires.
You have to drive about 2 km to the outside of the village to visit this location.
The frontal part is imposing with his two bell towers one on each side, and is dating from the year 1755. Nice inside and also continue your visit on the sides behind the altar, there you will see allot of gifts and pictures from people who were asking a favour for something special, go and see by your selves, it is hard to describe this all. One special thing I never hadseen is the "Square Altar", very imposing piece of art.

Ermida de São Vicente - Viana do Alentejo.
After you have visited the “Sanctuario de Nossa Senhora de Aires, when you have to look at 11º´clock to spot this “Ermida”, who is in reality a ruin in the field. We took the car to this place on about 300 meters from the church, and we were surprised of what we saw, an abandoned ruin, and on the one side I am happy that my pictures cannot reveal the smell you notice by entering into this place, I am happy that I have seen it, so that I can tell what it really is, we do apologise for being so open. But you have to see it on location to understand.
