Sameiro, located above the town of Braga, is the place where a beautiful Marian sanctuary, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, stands. Construction on this cathedral was begun when the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was proclaimed by Pius IX in 1854 around the time of the apparitions in Lourdes. There is an outdoor altar overlooking the town of Braga, where the Holy Father, John Paul II, celebrated Mass.
