Heritage and History
Bragança preserves a unique heritage in a compact and well-preserved historical centre, which is easy to walk through. The ancient stones are witness to a troubled history, dating back to the Bronze Age, with the presence of Romans, Suebi, and Visigoths, carrying on battles that helped establish the border and the strategic importance of the castle fort.
Biodiversity
Few territories possess such rich biodiversity as the Natural Park of Montesinho, situated at the gates of Bragança. With 80% of the mammals that exist in Portugal, only here can you be surprised by a group of deer on the roadside, spot a roe deer feeding in an oak grove, discover signs of wild boar in a meadow, or hear the howling of a wolf.
Gastronomy
In Bragança, you can find simple and well-prepared dishes with high-quality products and certified meats from the region. Their flavours and aromas seem to exhale from the landscapes where they come from. The meals are prepared with ingredients from the region, often brought directly from the garden to the kitchen.
Traditions
There are places where the traditions and ancestry of territory with over five centuries of history have managed to build an harmonious connection with modernity while preserving its identity and attractiveness, providing unique and authentic experiences to those who visit us.
