The modern times Church of the Misericordia (Porto) Inside of the Principal Church (Matosinhos) But most of all, it was the architect Carlos Amarante the one , ended up imposing a new rule in the Baroque of the city, much closer to Classicist ways. One of the best examples of this architecture is found in the Sanctuary of Bom Jesús do Monte, from where one of the best views of the city can be seen. The most characteristic part of this building is the staircase that joins the upper part of the city with the temple, and which covers a drop of almost 116 metres. The ornamentation is very well looked after, and on each floor there is a series of fountains, each of them with different sculpture motives. The union of these elements with the new ideas of a Portuguese Baroque known as “national Baroque” gave rise to very characteristic forms. It is a style that is better appreciated in the rural world than in the urban one, and from which Macedo de Cavaleiros 1. Sanctuary of Bom Jesús do Monte,(Braga)/ 2. Clérigos Tower (Porto) 3.

From Gallaecia to the Euro-Region has important examples, such as the churches of Podence, Soutelo Mourisco, Grijó, Edroso, Chacim, Cernadela, Castelãos, Bornes, Vale de Prados and Vilar do Monte. In other cases, new churches were built, such as the ones of Murçós, Macedo de Cavaleiros, Lamalonga, Ferreira, Bousende, Burga, Vilarinho de Agrochão or Vinhas. Apart from an important religious architecture, good examples of popular expressions have been maintained in this area, such as the alminhas of Ponte de Cernadela, the equivalents to the Galician petos de ánimas (“wayside shrines”). It is even more exceptional the fact that the pelourinhos of Chacim, Nozelos, Pinhovelo, and Vale de Prados have come to our days, remains of the importance that justice had in the Old Regime. In the Portuguese city of Mirandela, good examples of popular architecture of this same period are preserved. It is difficult to set an exact date for this kind of structures, although their heritage and ethnographic value are undeniable. They are also one of the best expressions that religiosity adopted among the people, and a phenomenon without borders, since there are almost no differences between the lands north and south of the Miño river. This is why it is very recommended the visit to this centre of the Portuguese northeast. A good number of alminhas and cruzeiros have come to our days. Within the first group of alminhas, the ones of Barcel, Caravelas, Cedães, Freixeda and Vila Boa are worth a visit. Regarding the group of cruzeiros, the ones of Abreiro, Santa Bárbara, Vale da Sancha y Vale de Salgueiro stand out. Furthermore, a good representation of another kind of popular construction is kept, but with a completely different orientation: the pelourinhos. A good example are the ones of Abreiro, Frechas, Lamas de Orelhão, Mirandela, Torre de Dona Chama and Vale de Prados.
