The Heart of the Festivities:

This location holds significant historical and symbolic value for Viana do Castelo. The name "Agonía" directly evokes the Romaria da Senhora d'Agonía, one of the most famous and colorful festivities in Portugal, in honor of the patron saint of fishermen.

Although the field is a public space throughout the year, it gains particular prominence during this festivity, serving as a central point for various cultural and traditional manifestations that characterize Vianense identity.

Its amplitude and configuration make it a meeting and transit point, reflecting the pulse of the city and providing an environment where the authenticity of Viana do Castelo can be felt.
