Adro do Bom Jesus, Religious site in Tenões, Braga, Portugal.

The Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary features a monumental stairway that rises 116 meters through multiple terraces decorated with fountains and sculptures.

The first chapel on this hill appeared in 1373, dedicated to the Holy Cross, leading to centuries of religious development at this location.

Throughout the year, the sanctuary holds traditional Catholic celebrations that gather both local residents and international pilgrims to participate in ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary using the water-powered funicular railway or by climbing the 583 steps that lead to the neoclassical church.

The stairway includes specific sections dedicated to the Five Senses, with each fountain representing different sensory experiences through water features.
