BRAGA


Another city worth visiting is Braga. Braga is considered the second most important city in northern Portugal (after Porto), because it’s the only one in Portugal with an archbishop. (That’s why it’s called "The City of Archbishops.") The most important historical monument in the city is the Sé de Braga (Braga Cathedral), built between the 12th and 18th centuries. The 155,000 citizens also enjoy walking past many other historical monuments, like Fonte do Ídolo (Idol's Fountain), which dates from the 1st century A.D., or the Tower of Braga Castle. There are many more sights (including places to shop); here’s a link to help find them.
