Braga: Women of Faith, Rebellion, and Transformation Take a different look at Braga through the stories of women who shaped the city's history across the centuries. During this relaxed 2 km walk, we’ll visit key sites like the Sé Cathedral, the Episcopal Palace, quiet squares, and hidden gardens, discovering how faith, power, and resilience were woven into the lives of remarkable women. We'll explore the life of D. Teresa, a powerful medieval figure, and Maria da Fonte, a voice of rebellion in the 19th century. Along the way, you’ll also hear about lesser-known women connected to convents, political change, and daily life in historic Braga. This tour is designed for curious travelers who enjoy history, culture, and a different, more personal perspective on Portugal’s past.
