Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Porto d'Ave

This is one of the most important Marian shrines in Portugal. The primary asset value, included in the Museum of sacred art attached, lies in the richness of the art pieces, in architecture, in gilt, on the images of Saints from various periods in various liturgical objects of gold and silver, gold-embroidered vestments, oil paintings of entities of the clergy and a valuable collection of ex-votos. This shrine was elevated to the category of Real Sanctuary by Royal Charter in 1873, and constitutes, along with the eight chapels and the escadatório one of the most interesting and beautiful places of the municipality.
