The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte is a Portuguese Catholic shrine in Tenões, located on the slopes of Mount Espinho, overlooking the city of Braga. This sanctuary is a notable example of Christian pilgrimage site with a monumental, Baroque stairway that climbs 116 meters .The celebrated Stairway of the Five Senses, with its walls, steps, fountains, statues and other ornamental elements, is the most emblematic Baroque work within the property. They are framed by lush woodland and embraced by a picturesque park that, masterfully set on the rugged hill, highly contributes to the landscape value of the ensemble.
