Santuário do Senhor dos Milagres, Catholic church building in Milagres, Portugal.
The Santuário do Senhor dos Milagres stands as a Baroque religious structure featuring stone façade, modest steeple, ornate interior decorations, and sacred images dedicated to the veneration of the Lord of Miracles.
Construction began in 1732 following a reported miracle in 1728 when a paralyzed man named Manuel Francisco Maio was allegedly cured after invoking Jesus Christ's help at this location.
The annual September festivities between the 14th and 20th attract thousands of pilgrims who participate in traditional processions, religious ceremonies, and community gatherings celebrating local faith traditions.
The sanctuary operates daily from 09:30 to 20:00, providing accessible pathways, parking facilities, clean restrooms, and multilingual staff assistance during major religious celebrations throughout the year.
Master craftsmen from the Convent of Mafra designed the church's elaborate Baroque ornamentation, while specialized ceramic tilework was created by artisans from the renowned Juncal Workshops.
