Located in the lower Minho, the \u201cPortuguese Rome\u201d was an ancient Roman city called Bracara Augusta, which despite being very old, is also very young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braga does not leave anyone indifferent to your visit, its mountains, distinctive churches, 18th century houses, historic sites and the devotion of its population to all the architectural and religious heritage, make a visit to Braga a trip back in time within modernity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
