It is a family-friendly quest through one of Portugal’s oldest and most fascinating cities, where every street tells a story and every stone may hide a clue.
For centuries, a secret has remained hidden within the walls of Braga. A secret connected to powerful archbishops, medieval rulers, ancient rivalries, and the birth of Portugal itself. According to legend, an important document disappeared from the court of the Archbishop of Braga.
When the document vanished, chaos followed. Nobles accused one another. Messengers disappeared. Rumors spread across the kingdom. Yet the first clue was not found by a knight or a king. Following strange symbols hidden throughout the city, they uncovered fragments of a mystery that no one had been able to solve. But their story ended before the final secret was revealed. Today, centuries later, their quest continues. And you are invited to finish it.
