Alameda Park - Paseo da Ferradura
The city´s most renowned and admired viewpoint is that of Paseo da Ferradura, located in Alameda Park, on the eastern slope of the Santa Susana hill. From there, there is a spectacular frontal view of the Cathedral rising up majestically over the mass of historical buildings: it is the most photographed postcard, the city´s timeless image. Recommended at any time of day, this viewpoint is a must at night-time to really understand why the Cathedral was and is a spiritual "beacon".
