A city as old as time itself, Braga's human history dates back thousands of years to the Megalithic era. It proudly stands as the capital of Portugal's Braga district and the cultural powerhouse of the Minho Province. Once the capital of the Roman province of Gallaecia and later of the Kingdom of the Suebi, Braga has played a central role throughout Portugal's historical narrative.

Today, it is known for hosting the oldest Portuguese archdiocese, the Archdiocese of Braga, and as an important stop on the Portuguese Way path of the Road of St. James – marking it a significant destination for religious and cultural tourism alike. Over the centuries, the city has grown, and its architectural styles have evolved, from the medieval period through the Renaissance and Baroque periods, resulting in a visually stunning cityscape. Braga's geographical diversity is also just as impressive, boasting mountainous peaks, river-hewn valleys, and a city centre nestled 215 metres above sea level.
