Construction of this religious structure began in 1739, following reports of a miracle that occurred in a nearby chapel during 1698.

The interior of the building displays intricate Baroque wood carvings on its altarpieces, representing 18th-century Portuguese religious artistry.

Located at Rua do Santo Cristo in Outeiro, the basilica provides guided tours and contains accessibility features for visitors with special needs.
