Lamego, Portugal - 15 April 2017 Lamego is a pretty historic town in North PortugalÕs scenic Douro Valley. Its long history dates back to pre-Roman times. Its most important landmark is the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remdios - Our Lady of Remedies: this major pilgrimage site is located at the top of the hill of St. Stephen, which overlooks the town centre. Built in 1750, an imposing staircase of 686 steps - shown heer - leads from the town to the church at the top of the hill. This is adorned by beautiful tiled murals and artworks. Ascent of the staircase not recommended; going down is just fine, thoughÉ so guess what I did?
