An even more extensive view over the city is from Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte (Our Lady of the Hill Viewpoint). This is the highest point in the city, and its serene atmosphere attracts young couples.

A small image of the Virgin standing in front of a chapel dedicated to Saint Gens overlooks the city.

It can be reached by turning left on Largo da Graça from Miradouro da Graça into Rua Damasceno Monteiro, then bearing right up Calçada do Monte.
