The church was built on the site of a small medieval chapel, known as a pilgrimage site for people with eye diseases. The construction of the temple lasted from 1904 to 1959. The eclectic-style Miguel Ventura Terra project combines neo-romanticism, neo-Gothic and Byzantine architecture. It is generally accepted that the architect was inspired by the forms of the Sacre Coeur Basilica in Paris. To the foot of the church at a height of 195 meters above sea level there is a line of a funicular built in 1923. Tourists can take the elevator to the observation deck under the very dome of the church. A panoramic view of the Lima River valley, mountains and the Atlantic Ocean opens from the platform. In 1927, National Geographic magazine named this species the third most beautiful in the world.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182257/52837c9c-a8e1-4595-93ff-19119342de52.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Sanctuary of Santa Luzia 2 min drive \- 1.9 km - Foreigners and Borders Service 8 min walk \- 0.7 km - Republic Square 10 min walk \- 0.9 km - Capela de Nossa Senhora de Agonia 13 min walk \- 1.1 km - Castelo de Santiago da Barra 4 min drive \- 2.2 km ### Getting around - Viana do Castelo Station 16 min walk - Porto Airport (OPO) 45 min drive ### Restaurants - Café Girassol 6 min walk - Cafe D.
