Braga

Braga is an ancient city with neolithic roots, ruins of Roman baths with a dash of celts and Visigoths. It has a cathedral that was built around 1090, seeming wealth, and great car-free streets. 


Do you know who this is? It was amongst Roman stones outside the main cathedral.

Another relic outside the church…Roman? Or Green Man?

A wayfinding sign? More Celts?


A lovely garden in Braga with stone arches on the background.

I think these are coffins of former Archbishops but I was taken by the unusual colors of the stained glass. Maybe they are more recent additions? 


This is the ceiling covered with two pipe organs. Unfortunately we didn’t get to hear it.



The Roman baths.
