Nazareth

Nazaré stretches across three distinct sections: Praia along the beach, Sítio on the cliff, and Pederneira on a hill, connected by a funicular railway system.

The town's origins trace back to a monk named Romano who brought a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary from Nazareth to this location in the 4th century.

The Doctor Joaquim Manso Folk and Archaeological Museum presents local artifacts, traditional fishing equipment, and regional costumes that represent maritime heritage.

The Nazaré Funicular operates daily between the beach area and Sítio, providing transportation while offering views of the Atlantic Ocean and red-tiled buildings.

The Nazaré Canyon, an underwater formation reaching depths of 5,000 meters, creates conditions for waves reaching heights of 30 meters at Praia do Norte.
