Heritage and sacred art

A landmark façade

The Basilica’s façade, attributed to André Soares, holds a prominent place in Braga’s Baroque heritage. Its composition can be admired from Avenida Central, where the church forms part of the former Oratorian complex.

An interior worth taking time to explore

Inside, the architecture, altarpieces, sculpture and music invite a closer look. These works are connected to the prayer and life of the church, where they continue to belong.

• The high altar and side altars, representing different artistic expressions.
• Cordeiro Místico (The Mystic Lamb), an oil painting signed by Josefa de Óbidos in 1680.
• Devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows and its place in the community’s history.
• The Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Aparecida, also known as the Chapel of the Monks.
• The historic organ, a witness to the relationship between music and liturgy.

Part of Rotas do Norte

Since March 2025, the Basilica has been part of the cultural routes “Barroco a Norte” and “Órgãos a Norte”. This reflects its commitment to preserving, understanding and sharing its heritage.
