Above the town of Lamego, the Santu\u00e1rio de Nossa Senhora dos Rem\u00e9dios rises in terraces on the hillside. Its monumental staircase \u2014 decorated with azulejos, fountains and statues \u2014 leads pilgrims and visitors up to the church, in one of the most theatrical settings of the Portuguese baroque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History and character<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sanctuary was built in the eighteenth century, when Lamego was already a great centre of devotion to Nossa Senhora dos Rem\u00e9dios. The long staircase that climbs the hill was enriched over the following century with tiles, sculptures and fountains, and the sanctuary remains the goal of a traditional pilgrimage, held each year in early September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
