The Characteristics of Campo das Carvalheiras in Braga
Campo das Carvalheiras is a large space, covered by centuries-old trees that takes us back to the 15th century, medieval times and the time of the city's founder, Archbishop D. Diogo de Sousa.
In the center we see a beautiful 18th century cross formed by a tall rod decorated with a cross and is fixed on a staircase and gives life to this space.
In 2002, the renovations carried out in this space returned moments of tranquility, satisfaction and harmony to this place, making it more attractive and safe.

The Carvalheiras Cruise in Braga
Cruzeiro stands on a base of seven quadrangular steps, partly eight due to the unevenness of the floor.
The shaft is based on a tall parallelepiped with reliefs on four sides with festoons and flat studs.
On this base is the shaft with the monolithic and circular column with two distinct parts in which the first third is decorated with diamond points and, in the upper part, with fluting.
The capital in the Corinthian form will top a small sphere that serves as the base for a cardinal cross with two horizontal arms, the upper one being shorter.
