Santuário de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, Baroque sanctuary in Lamego, Portugal

The church features two prominent towers and an intricate facade adorned with Corinthian pilasters rising above a monumental granite staircase with 686 steps.

The sanctuary originated from a small chapel dedicated to Saint Stephen in 1361, with construction of the current structure beginning in 1750 and concluding in 1905.

The annual celebration dedicated to Nossa Senhora dos Remédios occurs between September 6 and 8, drawing pilgrims from across Portugal to this religious site.

The sanctuary complex includes multiple resting areas along the staircase ascent, with the Kings Courtyard offering a notable pause point featuring statues of Israeli monarchs.

The sanctuary grounds contain an ancient chestnut tree, officially recognized as a Tree of Public Interest since 1940, standing as a natural monument beside the religious structure.
