Sanctuary of Santa Marta das Cortiças or do Alto
The cult of the Saint in the chapel of Cortiças dates back many centuries, perhaps to the early beginnings of Christianity. Documents in 900 and 924 refer to Mount of Santa Marta. The arch of the transept contains the Coat of Arms of the Archbishop of Braga.
The sanctuary includes a chapel, a monument to Our Lady of the Assumption, the ruins of a Paleo-Christian Basilica and a Roman "Domus".
The chapel is open on Sundays from May to September. During this period there is always someone in the site responsible for providing shelter to pilgrims, who visit the sanctuary in order to fulfil their vows. The Sanctuary houses ex-votos. The main feast is held on July 29.
