Did You Know?
Bracara Augusta was founded by the Romans around 16 BC, more than a thousand years before Portugal existed as a kingdom. Braga has been an archbishopric since the 4th century and still styles itself the religious capital of the country.
The clock: Braga runs on UTC+0. Its Bom Jesus funicular, opened in 1882, is water-powered — counterweighted by filling a tank at the top, which makes gravity the only clock it needs.
