About Cidade Alta de Santa Cruz Cabrália
The Cidade Alta of Santa Cruz Cabrália concentrates references to the municipality's historical formation. The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição and the old Casa de Câmara e Cadeia relate to the square and to the elevated position of the core. The coastal view adds a reading of the connection between settlement and shore.
The square links the historic facades and the coastal viewpoint, composing a short route on the high part of the town. Walk through the public space, observe the exteriors and note the arrangement of the buildings. Access to the interior of the church or other buildings depends on the availability of those in charge. Passing through the square does not guarantee entry. Consider the uphill path and the return if you start on foot from the lower area.
