Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Viana do Castelo, Portugal ☎ +351 258 823 173 Last Updated: 01/04/2026 |
| Perched atop the mountain surrounding Viana do Castelo is the “Santuário do Sagrado Coração de Jesus” (Sanctuary of Jesus). Visible from kilometers away, as if welcoming those entering the city, this shrine honors the “Princess of Lima”. | |
| Those who choose to climb the mountain will be rewarded with a breathtaking view, where the lush, idyllic valley blends with the modernity and urbanity of the city, all enhanced by the winding Lima River flowing into the Atlantic Ocean, where one can still almost picture the Caravel ships that once sailed during the Age of Discovery – all converging in one place, in one setting. | |
