A Simbólica do Gosto no Escadório dos Sentidos do Bom Jesus do Monte – Braga

The Stairway of the Senses in the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, Braga, holds significant symbolic meaning within its monumental Via Crucis. This study reveals that the terrace's symbolism, particularly through its sensory elements, contributes to a deeper understanding of the site's broader religious and cultural narrative. By analyzing signs displayed at the Terrace of the Taste, researchers deciphered a layered message that integrates sensory perception with spiritual reflection. The approach involved close examination of textual and visual cues, contextualized within the architectural and historical framework of the Bom Jesus do Monte. This work sheds light on the often-overlooked symbolic dimensions of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering new insights into its cultural and religious significance.
