Sometimes tiles are with reliefs

Old town of Braga is full of causie streets

An old master working on sculptures

Northern Portugal has a lot of British influence, as historically there have been strong ties since middle ages

Buildings in old town are built very tight next to each other

The most prominent sight of Braga is Bom Jesus do Monte, advertisements are all over the city

Huge cactuses grow at Braga city park

A very common portuguese public seating area, this kind of structures can be seen all over Portugal

Braga has probably the uglies public benches in the world

But has the most picturesque facades/entries

Occasionally you can find very cool art elements on the buildings

And finally Bon Jesus do Monte, this is a sanctuary which is UNESCO world heritage sight
