Description

With its 177 meters in height, this is one of the biggest elevated structures built in the country, rising like a lighthouse, serving as a reference point to people who move within Gaia. The highest places, on top of mountains, have always been seen as sacred places, ideal for the communication between Men and the Divine. Right next to Monte da Virgem Sanctuary, a recurring pattern repeats itself, the coexisting of cult places with high potent antennas. After all, the role of favouring communication is common.
