Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus / Mount of Santa Luzia

It is a supernatural beauty. Stands majestic on top of the hill. The surrounding views are breathtaking. Do not forget to go to the top. It costs 2€. The stairs are narrow but the view from the top is absolutely worth it

The Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Mount of Santa Luzia) in Viana do Castelo offers breathtaking views! If you can, climb to the top of the church — the path is narrow, but the panoramic views of the city and sea are absolutely worth it. Tickets are available from a vending machine on-site. The church itself is stunning, both inside and out. You can reach it by taxi or Uber, on foot (a steep hike), or by cable car. I went up by taxi and down by cable car, which was a lovely experience. Overall, this is a must-visit spot in Viana do Castelo — one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Portugal!

The Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Mount of Santa Luzia is a monumental masterpiece of Portuguese granite architecture. Its imposing exterior is matched by a breathtaking interior, featuring stunning murals, vibrant stained glass, and remarkable acoustics. The panoramic views over Viana do Castelo, the river, and the Atlantic are unforgettable.

Worth the visit Tt's a unique shape a for such a place. I like it and ofcourse spectacular views 360

It stands majestically on the top of the hill. Massive in shape but light and airy in the interior. Gorgeous views of the surrounding areas from the top! Plenty of parking available at the top.

Wonderful tour to the Sanctuary on top of the hill with almost 360 view and and fantastic sunset view at the sea !

Well worth a visit , more for the sights from this vantage point of tge city of Viana de castelo. The Church itself is recent compared to other monuments in Viana. Use the little funicular car to get there.

Great views from the top. Definitely visit for them. There is a cafe at the top. But it was already shut at 530 pm, with still more than 2 hours to go for the sunset. Visit at sunset time maybe better. Walk up there from town centre is a 30 min scramble involving a lot of steps. I did that, but one may want to consider a taxi.
