In a Professional & cultural journey

PROTOCOL WITH
MUNICIPALITY

BRAGA - CENTER OF OUR ACTIVITIES

In the heart of the green and fertile
province of Minho, the district of Braga
stretches from the sea inland, with a
wooded scenery that ondulates in gentle
hills and valleys.
The city of Braga, perhaps Portugal's
main religious centre, is known for its
baroque churches, splendid 18th century
houses and elaborate gardens and parks.

The old city is solemn and antique, but

industry and commerce have brought to
it a lively style of life, with its universities,
modern neighbourhoods, bars and
restaurants. The University of Minho was
founded in Braga in 1973 and it's on of
the best public Universities in Europe.
On a hill about 3 km south east stands the
sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, which

is visited on Whitsunday by thousands

of pilgrims and is famous for its 18thcentury architectural staircase. About a
mile beyond it is Mount Sameiro, a top
which is situated a colossal statue of the
Virgin Mary.
The whole district is famous for its
popular feasts and festivals and for the
local gastronomy, with many and varied
original recipes.
