About this book
SACRED PLACES OF PORTUGAL -An exciting journey across this colorful country to its four most sacred places: Neolithic ruins, the birthplace of global exploration, an emblematic staircase, and the incomparable Fatima.Richly endowed by both nature and history, Portugal is a sun-baked land of castles, dramatic coastlines, jagged mountains, lively festivals, and proud Roman Catholic traditions. From prehistoric cave dwellers, numerous empires and invaders, to several centuries of Roman and Moorish influence, Portugal had been on the forefront of Western civilization’s development for many centuries. To understand Portugal’s future is to travel into the country’s glorious past. Portuguese citizens fostered the Age of Discovery, inspired one of Europe’s most visited pilgrimage locations, and created an emblematic staircase known throughout the country – all within a nation about the size of Indiana.
