Rua do Cabido, in the historic center of Braga, presents several graffiti on its walls, a situation that once again raises concerns about the preservation and image of one of the most emblematic areas of the city. The street constitutes one of the main accesses to the monumental complex of Braga Cathedral and its Treasury-Museum, receiving visitors daily.
The situation has been generating indignation among residents and traders in the area, who call for more effective intervention from the authorities. The preservation of historical heritage is considered essential for maintaining the tourist flow that visits the city, especially in such a central and frequented area.
Graffiti constitutes a recurring problem in various historic areas of the country, but it assumes particular gravity when it affects areas adjacent to monuments classified as national heritage. The city's image as a cultural tourist destination is compromised when elements like this are not quickly removed.
