The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro or Sanctuary of Sameiro (Portuguese: Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Sameiro / Santuário do Sameiro) is a sanctuary and Marian shrine in Espinho, near the city of Braga, Portugal.[1]
The Shrine of Our Lady of Sameiro remains one of the most frequented places of Marian devotion in Portugal, the complex itself surpassed in size only by the Sanctuary of Fátima. At the top of a hill, Monte Sameiro, more than 350 metres above Braga, its setting offers a renowned view over the city and the valley of the Minho. Most spectacular is the prospect from the top of the basilica's dome.[2] Every year many devotees come here, especially at times of pilgrimage on the first Sunday of June and the third Sunday of August.[3] The sanctuary is close to Espinho, 4 km from Braga's centre and less than 2 km from the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte. The sanctuary's large garden contains a children's play area.[4] There is also a museum.[5]
