bambino36 Says: The Sanctuary dates from the 12th and 16th centuries with later reforms. The Sanctuary holds a small piece of the relic of the Saint that suffered several tortures in Iconio, Minor Asia, during the year of 46 AD. Also there is a small piece of the authentic Lignum Crucis
bambino36 Says: Santa Tecla dominates the mouth of the river Minho and the views from the top are amazing. But the mountain has other interests, in particular the remains of a celtic settlement.It's possible to visit the mountain going to it's top by car against a fee of 0.80€
bambino36 Says: The new Via Crucis is composed by a row of crosses with wonderful medallions. The medallions are a work of the sculptor D. Vincent Mengual and are inspired in Celtic crosses from Ireland and Brittany
bambino36 Says: There is two Via Crucis, one older dated from the end of the 17th century and the new one dated from 1940.
bambino36 Says: The houses were round and had a oven inside. The roof was usually made with dry leafs and plants.
