Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Abadia
Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Abadia, Marian sanctuary in Santa Maria do Bouro, Portugal
The sanctuary features a church with three naves supported by Tuscan columns, decorated altars, and an 18th-century organ in the main chamber.
The first sanctuary was constructed between the 7th and 8th centuries, though the current structure dates from the 17th century with a facade rebuilt in 1725.
Eight chapels along a steep path represent scenes from the Virgin Mary's life, creating a sacred pilgrimage route through the mountainside.
The sanctuary includes a museum of sacred art, picnic areas, and remains open to visitors with no entrance fee throughout the year.
A natural stream called Nava flows near the sanctuary, creating waterfalls that complement the religious structures within the forest setting.
