The Sanctuary of Santa Luzia is the great visual icon of the city, but there is also the popular devotion to the so‑called “Santa Kuzia,” a loving and local way of referring to the saint. It is a symbol of protection, simple faith, and a deep connection between the people and the hill that dominates the entire landscape.

Ponte de Lima is officially recognized as the oldest village in Portugal, thanks to the charter granted by Dona Teresa in 1125, mother of King Afonso Henriques. This historic document marked the beginning of the village’s administrative identity and reinforced its strategic importance in the territory that would become Portugal.
