Eiffel Bridge 🌉 Rio Lima, Viana do Castelo

Highlight • Bridge

An interesting early iron architecture built ten years before the Eiffel Tower by the Eiffel office. Driving was not really a problem for us. The cars have to wait a bit or overtake them as soon as visibility is given.
A pedestrian ferry we did not see in Oct 2019.

Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Santuário do Sagrado Coração de Jesus)

Highlight • Religious Site

In the Mass on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 11, 2026), the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, preached, referring to the words of the Doctor of the Church, Saint Augustine: “Where there is love, there is peace, and where there is humility, there is love”:
“It is so. Where there is true humility, there is love, and where there is love, there is peace, for only in humility do we truly recognize who we are… Beloved brothers and sisters, today we venerate the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, which we often see depicted with a crown of thorns and a burning flame, according to the visions of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. Let us remember that we are the living presence of the Lord in the world… Let us, inflamed by the love of His Heart, become messengers of His mercy and His peace, so that wars in the world may cease and a new humanity, reconciled in love, may grow around us.”

25th of April Monument 🇵🇹 Liberty Square

Highlight • Monument

The Monumento ao 25 de Abril is intended to commemorate the Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1974, which led to the fall of the dictatorial Salazar regime. The chain at the foot of the monument used to be hanging, but had to be taken down for safety reasons (chain swayed in strong winds). Nevertheless, this should symbolize the "breaking of the chains" and thus the way to freedom.
