Our Lady of the Tower Tourist Guide

Our Lady of the Tower

Autor: José Paulo Abreu

“The journey is long, even though it fits on few pages. It begins at the time of the Bracari. They came after the Romans, the Suevi, the Visigoths, the Arabs… All of them leaving marks, and time has preserved them. In the Middle Ages, the wall was built to surround and protect the city. Towers stand out here and there (like the Tower of Santiago – currently under the invocation of Our Lady) and doors open. Behind the walls, the majestic Cathedral emerges.”
