Heritage and history

Bragança preserves a unique heritage in a compact and well-preserved historical center, easy to walk through. The ancient stones witness a troubled history, dating back to the Bronze Age, with Romans, Suebi, and Visigoths contributing to establishing the border and the strategic importance of the castle fort.

Biodiversity

Few territories possess such rich biodiversity as the Natural Park of Montesinho, situated at the gates of Bragança. With 80% of the mammals that exist in Portugal, only here can you be surprised by a group of deer on the roadside, spot a roe deer feeding in an oak grove, discover signs of wild boar in a meadow, or hear the howling of a wolf.

Gastronomy

In Bragança, you can find simple and well-prepared dishes with high-quality products and certified meats from the region. Their flavors and aromas seem to exhale the landscapes they come from. The meals are prepared with ingredients from the area, often brought directly from the kitchen garden.
