Meet Braga: Throughout history there have been many versions of Braga. Once a Roman City, known as Bracara Augusta, Braga later developed into one of the most important Catholic strongholds in the Iberian Peninsula, earning the nickname "City of the Archbishops." Today, it's one of the most rapidly developing municipalities in Portugal, and home to our Elevate Plant Based Market and Conference.
