The Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios is located in the current parish of Lamego (Almacave and Sé), city and municipality of Lamego, district of Viseu, in Portugal.
At the top of Monte de Santo Estêvão, the sanctuary is currently an integral part of the panorama of the city to which it is joined by a scenographic staircase.
Since 1984, the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, including the staircase and park, has been classified as a Property of Public Interest.
History
The popular devotion in the place dates back to a chapel, under the invocation of Saint Stephen, erected in 1361.
In the 16th century, threatening ruin, it was demolished (1568), starting the construction of a new temple, on the initiative of the Bishop of Lamego. In the new chapel an image of the Virgin and Child was deposited.
As time went by, devotion to Saint Stephen diminished, replaced by devotion to the Virgin. The devotion of those who resorted to her in search of relief from illness gave rise, in turn, to devotion to Our Lady of Remedies.
The current sanctuary was begun in 1750 and completed only in 1905.
Its traditional festivals take place annually from the 6th to the 8th of September.
Characteristics
The temple features, on its facade, traces of the Baroque and Rococo ("rocaille") styles. The facade is flanked by bell towers. Granite stone was used in its construction.
Inside, the high altar with the image of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios carved in wood, and three stained glass windows with the images of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Annunciation, stand out.
The two side altars are dedicated to the Virgin's parents (São Joaquim and Santa Ana). On one of the walls of the sanctuary there are tile panels with scenes from the life of the Virgin.
Outside, the monumental access staircase to the sanctuary stands out, with 686 steps, developing in nine flights, decorated with chapels, statues, fountains and obelisks. On one of these levels - the so-called "Courtyard of the Kings" - stand out the images of eighteen kings of Israel, belonging to the family tree of the Virgin. At the base of the staircase there are four figures alluding to the four seasons of the year.
Public Interest Tree
Since 1940, a chestnut tree (Castanea sativa) located next to the Sanctuary has been classified as a "Tree of Public Interest". According to the Institute for the Conservation of Nature and Forests, the over 700-year-old tree is already dry and has been embellished by ivy.
