Visit the Cruise of the Basilica of Santo Cristo - Outeiro (Bragança)

The Crucifix of the Basilica of Santo Cristo, located in the Outeiro Parish is implanted in the terreiro frontier to the Basilica, but it must be prior to the construction of the temple. The cruise certainly dates back to the seventeenth century, witnessing the external religious experience, which gave the spaces and paths a sacred dimension.
On five steps, the base of the cruise rises, of square section, with moldings in all the faces decorated by rosettes. The column, striated and wider in the lower third and fish scale in the remaining two-thirds, is crowned by the Corinthian capital bearing a cross with the figure of Christ.
