【您準備好攀登沒有? 耶穌聖山 @布拉加 】
【Are you ready to climb? Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary @Braga】

座落在布拉加 (Braga) 市郊的耶穌聖山，是葡萄牙國內極之聞名的一個天主教朝聖之地。 那116米長, 充滿美麗裝飾的巴洛克式彎曲成「之字形」的樓梯 (接近600級樓梯), 加上沿途不同的噴泉、雕像, 和山上的朝聖教堂, 令我印象很深。

無論是爬上 (和/或 爬下) 這道樓梯, 都是非常值得的。 沿著樓梯走的這段路非常怡人, 而到達小山頂上遠眺的 布拉加市風景更是非常美麗! 建在山頂上的朝聖教堂, 是一座18世紀的巴洛克風格建築。傳統上, 虔誠的朝聖者會以雙膝跪拜, 一路爬到山頂上的朝聖教堂, 淨化思想, 洗滌心靈和體驗耶穌基督受難的苦難場面。

除了走路，也可以駕車或乘坐纜車的方式抵達耶穌聖山參觀。 纜車建於1882年,是伊比利亞半島上仍然使用的最古老的纜車。

Located on the outskirts of the city of Braga, Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary is a notable pilgrimage site. The 116-meter-long zig-zag decorative baroque style staircase (nearly 600 stairs); the different fountains and statues along the way; plus the pilgrim church at the top of the hill have all impressed me a great deal.

Climbing up (and/or down) the staircase is well worth it.The way along the staircase is an enjoyable walk, and the scenery of the city of Braga viewed from the top of the hill is breathtaking! The chapel standing at the top of the hill is a 18th-century Baroque style construction. Traditionally, pious pilgrims climb on the stairs on their knees, purifying their minds and reflecting on the scenes of the Passion of Christ.

Besides walking, Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary is also accessible by cars and the funicular. The funicular was built in 1882 and is the oldest one that is still being used on the Iberian Peninsula.
