The roofs of the medieval basilica are made of granite and take the form of a series of steps.
In the middle ages, pilgrims visited the roofs of the cathedral. At the stone font, overlooked by the ‘cruz dos farrapos’ (the cross of the rags), they carried out the ritual of the burning of their old clothes, worn on the pilgrimage.
The roofs are 30 metres high. Access is via a staircase of 84 steps. The use of comfortable shoes is recommended.
Enjoy the view of the squares and streets, as well as the historic mountains that surround the city.
An unforgettable experience...
