To arrive at this sanctuary takes a bit of work…686 steps to be exact. But the climb is well worth it! While taking the 686 steps to the sanctuary, you can take breaks in one of the nine patios that showcase the images of the 18 kings of Israel. Once you arrive at the top, not only can you see the spectacular altar of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios (Our Lady of the Remedies), but can also visit the upper terrace. The terrace houses a beautiful chestnut tree that is over 700 years old!
