Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, Religious sanctuary on hilltop Sítio, Nazaré, Portugal.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré features twin bell towers, with Dutch tile panels depicting Old Testament scenes covering its interior walls.
The sanctuary originated in 1377 when King Ferdinand ordered construction of a new place of worship due to increasing numbers of devoted pilgrims.
The sacred art collection includes paintings and tile panels narrating the legend of Our Lady of Nazaré through detailed Portuguese craftsmanship.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary via funicular from the beach area, with regular services operating throughout the day from central Nazaré.
The main altar displays a statue of the Nursing Madonna wearing a green cloak decorated with gold, gifted by King John V.
