Carving in North Portugal

The Cidadela is an area up a steep hill above Bragança. There is a castle belonging to the family of the last king of Portugal and a pentagonal medieval council chamber. Outside the castle is a preaching cross but the interesting feature for this site is that it rises from the back of a porca (prehistoric stone pig.)
