The local experience
Baroque sanctuary atop the Monte de Santo Estêvão, connected to Lamego's center by a staircase of more than 600 steps with landings decorated with tiles, fountains and statues.
Cathedral founded in 1129, which retains the original square Romanesque bell tower. The façade is 16th-century Gothic, the cloister is Renaissance, and the interior vaults were painted in the 18th century.
Medieval castle atop the historic center, with a keep tower and walls that today blend with the neighborhood houses. It preserves a medieval cistern covered by stone vaults.
Medieval bridge over the Rio Varosa with a fortified tower, where tolls were collected from those entering the lands of the Mosteiro de Salzedas. It is about 15 km from Lamego.
