Santuario Nossa Senhora dos Remedios, Lamego

Really nice church a few minutes drive from Lamego. Sits on top of the hill with a few hundred steps to walk down, geometrically shaped. The church garden has many mature trees allowing great hike and walk around for a picnic. Majority of the statues are located on the top. If you do drive there are a few stops along the way you can take multiple posts and pictures while driving up to the top. They are abundance of free parking‘s next to the church on the top. However if you would like to take a picture of all the stairs there is also a plaza that is long and rectangular shape at the base with free parking as well where you can take a nice picture of the church and stairs completely. The church is worthwhile to see because they even open up the back inner chambers to the cathedral so that you can view more intimate settings of the church

This is very beautiful and worth a visit. The outside is stunning and you get a beautiful view of the town from the top of the hill. We drove to the top to visit the church instead of scaling the 600+ steps. (The bottom of the staircase was closed due to repairs being made, and it was raining.) We spent about 1/2 hour here on our way to the Douro Valley.
