Traços Identitários: O Santuário de Bom Jesus de Matosinhos de Congonhas do Campo e o Santuário do Bom Jesus do Monte em Braga / Identity Traits: The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos de Congonhas do Campo and the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte in Braga

A comparative analysis of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos (Congonhas do Campo) and the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte (Braga), reveals shared architectural identity traits despite their geographical separation. The study highlights similarities in topographical implantation, ornamental compositions, surface paintings, and sculptural techniques, while also noting distinctions. Notably, it emphasizes Aleijadinho's mastery in soapstone carving at Congonhas and the use of granite in Braga. The research employs a comparative methodology to assess symbolic, atmospheric, and sensory perceptions evoked by these sites, offering insights into their cultural significance and technical construction challenges within the lusophone architectural landscape.
