On the 18th of October, Saint Luke's Day, the Patron Saint of Doctors and Nurses, the Route of the Romanesque also celebrated the Heritage Carer day.

A unique initiative in Portugal, which aims to commemorate all of those who care for and cherish our monuments, tirelessly and unconditionally, constituting a valuable living memory of the area.

This action is part of the project Heritage Carers, one of the 11 winners of the 'European Heritage Days Stories 2020' competition, promoted by the Council of Europe and the European Commission.

Take a look at the photos of our Carers, the moment they received their Heritage Carer certificates as well as a little souvenir of the Route of the Romanesque.
