Monuments by Vera Lourenço

Eiffel Bridge

a0065 — 2018-09-28 10:36:18 UTC

This monument was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the architect of the Eiffel Tower, the well-known attraction in Paris.
The construction of the bridge began in 1877 and was completed in 1878. There was a need to move to the other side of the Lima river. It is composed of two metal trays, the upper road and the lower rail which has an extension of 562 m.
Near this monument there are also others such as the Gil Eanes boat and the Old Hospital.

Museum of Costume

2018-09-28 10:40:18 UTC

The Museum of the Costume was created in 1997, to popularize the costume of Viana, more known for the feminine sort.
It has the costumes of all the parishes of Viana do Castelo, like for example: Mordoma, Bride, Lavradeira, Suit of Domingar among others.
Located in the center of Viana do Castelo in front of the fountain, the responsible for this project was Natalia Correia Guedes. There was an event that marked the Museum of the Costume that was, the assault on the safe, as you can imagine there were a lot of gold and precious jewels there.
There are several other attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, the House of Niches, Santa Luzia, Santa Casa da Misericórdia, Navio Gil Eanes, Teatro Sá de Miranda and many others to visit.

2018-09-28 10:45:01 UTC

The theater of Sá de Miranda was founded on April 29, 1885 by an architect called José Geraldo da Silva Sardinha. Its construction was carried out in the middle of 1879. Tjhere are 3 floors and 400 places

The house of the Niches

a0076 — 2018-09-28 10:52:33 UTC

The house is a building built in the fifteenth century by an unidentified person, located in Viana do Castelo.

The monument was recently recovered, and nowadays is a great nucleus on the archeology of Viana do Castelo. One of the many curiosities about the building is that it was given the name "House of the Niches" because it has on its façade two statues of relief that represent things of the Annunciation, dating back to the 15th century.
Inside the establishment there is an exhibition with prehistoric objects, the Iron Age and Roman times.

I advise this place to historians and children as they can come learn about the past of Viana do Castelo and do manual activities for example: a pedy-paper, mud work among others!

And finally we would like to advise some places of Viana like the church of Santa Luzia, fountain, train station among others.

Fountain

2018-09-28 11:00:07 UTC

The fountain is located in Republic Square.
This monument was built in granite, on July 12, 1553, by João Lopes being the best bricklayer of that time. Possibly completed in 1555.
For several centuries this was the place where the people from Viana were supplied with drinking water. In addition we also have other nearby attractions, for example: the Costume Museum, the Casa da Misericórdia among others.

Santa Luzia Basilica

2018-09-28 12:09:00 UTC

The Basilica of Santa Luzia was designed by Miguel Ventura Terra and Miguel Nogueira Júnior, from 1904 to 1959. This temple is located on Santa Luzia hill, built in the Roman style. This Basilica is also called the church of the romance, as it is the temple with more weddings in Viana and next door there is a hotel called "SANTA LUZIA ARTHOTEL" which is a place next to the church. This temple was inspired by the Basilica of Sacré Coeur in Paris. This temple features a plant in the shape of a Greek cross.
In the nineteenth century, Century of the Black Plague, Portugal lived in a miserable way. In Viana there was a well-known saint, who promised God that she would make a church on the hill of Santa Luzia in exchange for the extinction of the disease, and that everyone would walk to the church, which is still celebrated today.

Sé Cathedral

a0060 — 2018-09-28 12:12:55 UTC

Sé cathedral is located in the center of the city, it was built in the year 1420 and it was created by D. Justo Baldvído (Bishop of Ceuta).
The Cathedral of Viana do Castelo was finished in 1455. The Church was dedicated to the divine Savior.

The Cathedral of Viana do Castelo, although presenting a Romanesque structure, is undoubtedly a work of influence by the Gothic aesthetics. There are 6 sculptures that represent as many apostles (S. Pedro, S.Paulo, S.João, S.Bartolomeu, S. Tiago and Santo André). This portal, at the sculptural and thematic level, notes certain affinities such as the Galician portals.
This Church must be visited because it is a very beautiful church and is a reference of Viana do Castelo

There are other nearby attractions, such as: the fountain the Square of the Republic, the Hospital of Misericordia and the house of the old.

The Old Hospital is located in Praça da Erva near the City Hall.
It was built in the year 1468 by João Pais, the Old. It took another two centuries to be remodeled. It was a shelter for pilgrims from Santiago de Compostela. Must be visited because it is part of the Portuguese heritage.

House of Arcos

2018-09-28 12:25:33 UTC

With the name of Casa dos Arcos, created by João Velho located next to the Sé Cathedral in the side, this one was created in Century XV.
This house is linked to a tradition in which João Velho lived here, better known as the Old Man, being this navigator and a notable one of the village, that hosted King D. Manuel I, during his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. However it is known that in reality here lived his son that by coincidence had the name of João Velho, that would be the son, and that the father lived next to the Door of the Postigo. It was considered a national monument in 1926.
It must be visited because it was considered one of the few examples of Gothic civil architecture that remains in Portugal, having been built in an era of economic and social development of the town.     Near it we can find the old boardrooms, the costume museum and other monuments.
