Igreja de Santa Luzia

The Monte de Santa Luzia (250m/820ft) is about 5km/3mi northeast of Viana do Castelo, topped by its 19th C. Neo Byzantine church of Santa Luzia, a place of pilgrimage. It can be reached by car and by a funicular which leaves from near the station. It is worth making the trip if only for the magnificent view.

There are traces of a CelticIberian settlement just north of the church which was inhabited until the fourth C. A.D.
