Tips from the Community

Fernando Cintra
November 28, 2023, Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Vagos

The Nossa Senhora de Vagos sanctuary is a popular pilgrimage center, dating back to the 16th century and has undergone several renovations. The origin of the cult and the sanctuary is associated with the founding of Portuguese nationality. The legend of the image and the hermitage goes back to a sunken Gallic ship, from which a sculpture of Saint Mary was saved and hidden in a tree tuft. Later, a hunchbacked farmer, miraculously cured, built the original hermitage.

According to some theses, the place was founded by the Phoenicians under the name Vacuus (roughly: thrown out), according to others it was founded by the Romans as Vacua (after a dried up tributary of the Rio Vouga). [4] Large parts of today's district, however, were still under water. Around the independence of the Kingdom of Portugal in 1139, the sea retreated further. In 1190 King Sancho I gave the place its first town charter
