Bom Jesus do Monte is a sanctuary sitting atop a 985-foot-high slope; it can be reached by foot, tram, or car, although many prefer to go by foot. This preference is due to the stairway that leads to the iconic church, which features 17 landings, each decorated with symbolic fountains, statues, and various other baroque-style adornments. Many of these landings have themes, such as the five senses and Stations of the Cross. The last landing before reaching the church features the eight biblical figures who aided in the conviction of Jesus. Visitors will then enter the Italian-influenced neoclassical church that showcases paintings by Pedro Alexandrino.
