VIANA DO CASTELO - DESCRIPTION
This town is kept very busy with its fishing and passing holiday trade. A main feature is the attractive main square that features both a 1553 water fountain and the Miseriacórdia house that was constructed in 1598. Close by is its 15th Century Cathedral that has a fortress-like appearance and graced with Gothic carved relief's of the apostles.

The City Museum housed in a small Palace is in the main square. It holds a variety of interesting fine items such as rare ceramics, furniture, paintings and archaeological finds from the area. In the northwest part of the City the 18th Century Chapel Nossa Senhora da Agonia plays an important part in its annual celebrations. A three-day festival drawing thousands of visitors from all over the world is held in the month of August each year to honour this special image. Located on the high hill of Monte Santa Luzia is the modern unattractive basilica that dominates the City. From this point there are magnificent views of the surroundings.

Nearby and whilst slightly hidden in a wood close by is the remains of an interesting Celtic-Iberian settlement with many small huts and paved streets.
