Monte de Santa Luzia

Viana do Castelo

Description

It is an excellent example of revivalist architecture bringing together, in a monumental but harmonious way, Neo-Romanic, Neo-Byzantine and Neo-Gothic elements, designed by one of the architects of greater national and international projection at the time, the high-Minho architect Miguel Ventura Terra (1866 - 1919), author, for example, of the remodeling of the São Bento Palace, currently the Assembly of the Republic. Although the project dates back to 1898, the work was only started in the early years of the 20th century, and the temple was opened to worship on August 22, 1926, after the death of its author, and was only completed in 1943, almost half a decade. after.
