15 reviews of Santa Luzía Basilica

Huge rosettes

The Basilica of St. Lucia is the most significant monument in northern Portugal, it's quite like the Sacre Coeur in Paris, but the views from Mount Santa Lucia are more beautiful, if that's possible, than the hill of Montmartre. You can go up the hill, on foot, by funicular or by car, we decided on the latter and drove up the winding mountain road that reminded us of Sintra or Buçaco, with endless curves to the top, once we got there we parked in front of the monument, which in theory is free, but there are always "gorillas" (unlike in Spain), they don't ask for money but want to sell a keyring with a rag doll.

The view is exceptional, the panorama says it all: The river estuary, fishing port, Eiffel bridge, immense sandy beaches and ice water, haha., Green hills populated with white villages, the old town, the new town (if you are lucky to have a clear day). Next to the basilica is the photographer, with cardboard horse, who insists again and again to take a picture, the poor man must have realized that the digital era has arrived, and as you refuse he remains undaunted and it's annoying as the best view of the basilica can only be taken from the strategic point where he has set up his stall. The most striking aspect of the facade are the huge rosettes but the interior is quite disappointing. At the back there's a picnic area where you can eat watching the views.
