Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Essential place in Nazaré.
In the altar of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, the Sacred image of Our Lady of Nazaré is kept, a Black Virgin, carved in wood, which was brought from Mérida to the Site of Nazaré, in the year 711 by Fray Romano.
Inside the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, we must highlight the Dutch tiles from the 18th century, which cover the main altar and represent biblical scenes, as well as the paintings in the sacristy, which describe the story of the miracle that saved his life. to Mr. Fuas Roupinho.
Do not miss it.

This church faces the square in the center of the old town. The interior is filled with golden decorations that cover the walls and ceilings, making it a spectacular sight. It is said to be popular with pilgrims as a place where miracles occurred, but when I visited, there were many tourists looking around the church.

This church houses a statue of Mary breastfeeding baby Jesus. Tradition holds that it was carved by St Joseph and painted by St Luke. It later came into the possession of St Jerome, St Augustine, and an early Portuguese king, who hid it from being discovered by conquering Moors.
Across the street from the church, see the cliff-side cave where it was safely hidden for centuries. Learn the cool story about how it was discovered. Then have lunch seaside and spend the afternoon relaxing on Nazare’s famous beach. Enough here to make a day of it.

We were in the upper town on a Sunday so mass was occurring the first time we stopped by. When we returned, a christening was taking place. The church is pretty and not very large, so it doesn’t take more than a couple minutes to visit.

Outside is nice but inside is much nicer than it appears from outside. Definitely worth a visit, and an interesting back-story encapsulated in a drawing on the wall just inside the entrance.

Is the statue back yet? We visited this incredibly beautiful shrine church, and paid a fee to tour it on our own, into the sacristy which is tiled on every surface, and to walk up to the niche above the altar where the miraculous image of Nossa Senhora de Nazare is always on display "but it isn't there: it is being restored," we were informed. This was mid-late September 2023. We also went to Sunday Mass at the church. It was well-attended, and the choir was very good. (We don't speak or understand Portuguese, so cannot say what the homily was like) Also due to the language barrier, we were unable to find out anything else about the statue beyond "it is being restored."
I noted a World Youth Day sign outside the church, so surely some lucky young pilgrims got to come to this venerable place! While we were in Nazare, a group of Polish pilgrims of the Christ the King Society were there, with large signs in various languages encouraging a return to the faith of Jesus Christ, a return to the Catholic faith.
We loved our 4-night stay in Sitio-Nazare and would love to return and stay longer.
(I may be able to add some photos later.)

Como se chega à imagem? Parece tão pequena no altar! Vi uma bela foto, foi tirada lá mesmo por um visitante?
Written 2 July 2017
A imagem de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré não é acessível ao público. À exemplo de Nossa Senhora Aparecida, a imagem foi vitima de apedrejamento e por isso agora é protegida por um vidro à prova de bala.
