Is that a hint of thyme in the air? Here at the Cruzeiro do Burgo, the aroma of history mixes with the scents of Porto. The Cruzeiro do Burgo, a wayside cross, stands as a silent sentinel, a testament to a time when Porto was a crossroads for travelers, particularly those on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Erected in 1738 during the Baroque era, the Cruzeiro do Burgo proudly bears a legend on its base. This inscription, “Louvado seja os tempos de valores virtude lisura ozias. MDCCXXXVIII”, speaks of a time when virtues and honesty were prized. Imagine the travelers who would have paused at this very spot, finding solace and encouragement in the shadow of the cross. Over the years, the Cruzeiro do Burgo has seen Porto transform. What was once a simple path has become the bustling intersection we see today. Yet, the Cruzeiro do Burgo remains, a steadfast reminder of Porto’s rich past.
