| Video Discription | Visible from kilometers away and at the top of the hill that frames Viana do Castelo stands the Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Santuário do Sagrado Coração de Jesus). Construction of the sanctuary began in 1904, progressing briskly until the Proclamation of the Republic. From here on, the process slowed down, as a result of the turbulent political and social context. The First World War ended up slowing down the process even further. In 1925, architect Miguel Nogueira, Ventura Terra's apprentice, took over the work, inheriting the project from his master upon his death. Just a year later, the work on the main chapel was completed, and the Archbishop and Lord of Braga and Primate of Spain had the honor of opening it to the public. The works on the exterior of the temple were completed at the end of 1943, and those on the interior in 1959. Architecturally, the building has a plan centered on a Greek cross, with Byzantine roots. Gothic in style are the enormous rose windows, the largest in the Iberian Peninsula. Inside, two angels, designed by Leopoldo de Almeida, offer the coats of arms of Portugal and Viana do Castelo to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a replica of the bronze statue at the entrance, sculpted in Vila Viçosa marble by Martinho de Brito. Our Lady of Fátima is also seen in the temple, with a statue in her image. Emídio Lima is the sculptor responsible for the imposing marble and granite altars, both the main and side altars, dedicated to Santa Luzia and the Lady of the Abbey. The pulpits with wavy lines, designed by Miguel Nogueira, are also the work of this sculptor. The three rose windows that decorate the church made their way all the way from Lisbon, from the hands of the Ricardo Leone workshop. The frescoes surrounding the main chapel's apse and the dome were designed by Manuel Pereira da Silva, a native of Avintes, and represent passages from the Stations of the Cross. Finally, the silver tabernacle was carved by master goldsmith Filinto Elísio de Almeida, in Porto. Filmed with SONY RX10M3 and INSTA360 X3 in March 2023. #vianadocastelo #portugal #portogallo |
