LAMEGO, PORTUGAL |
|
Lamego is an attractive town with Renaissance and
baroque mansions overlooked by two hills. On one of the hills are
the ruins of a 12th century castle, on the other is the monumental
baroque Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. A marvelous granite
staircase decorated with tiles, allegorical fountains, small
chapels, and statues leads to a baroque church with views over the
town. Photos of the Sanctuary are included on another web page
referenced from the main page. The town museum, one of the country's
best regional museums, is housed in an 18th century Bishop's Palace,
and the photos below provide a glimpse of what can be found in the
museum. |
