One of the most attractive Baroque churches in Portugal is an organic ensemble with a geometrically laid out garden on Largo do Brasil. It's hard to believe, but this harmony is built at different times. The Church of Our Lady of Consolation and the Holy Steps was built in the early 18th century. Two flanking bell towers were built a century later. And the design of the garden, judging by the photos, is changed annually. Excellent visual perspective is obtained. Although if you stand at the beginning of the garden with a view of the church, you can see that a perfectly straight line cutting through the rhombuses of the garden and the center of the church did not work.

These is the most Famous Avenue in Braga , not so much for the stores and restaurants but because it connects the city Center Square to the parque da Ponte where it is located the São João chapel (São João is the most famous festivity in Braga) . The top part of the avenue is walk only (no cars) with a nice garden , some nice buildings , the famous Theatro Circo and Avenida Liberdade Street Fashion. .

Strolling along the historic center of Braga, this garden - a real oasis - will certainly catch your attention! Located along the Eastern wing of the "Palácio Episcopal de Braga" (literally, the palace of the archbishops of Braga in English), the "Jardim de Santa Bárbara" consists of beautiful manicured flower gardens, sided by the ruins of arcades that once were part of the medieval archbishop's palace. In the garden's center, a 17th century fountain, topped by a statue of Saint Barbara, an early martyr of the Christian faith. The garden is named after her. Take your time and enjoy the garden and its million beautiful flowers. Due to scenic lighting, evening visits can also be very pleasant! Enjoy!

I visited the museum on the second day of my stay in the city. The price was good (only a couple euros) and it was definitely worth it. The gardens were beautiful and quite relaxing. The house itself can only be visited as part of a “tour”, as in you’ll be in a group with a guide, who’ll open each room after everybody will be done with the one being currently visited. The house boasts an astonishing collection of paintings and period furniture. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city!!
