    The monastery is literally walled up.
    The church is incredibly beautiful inside. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed.

      Santuario do Cabo Espichel with baroque church Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichelo. The pilgrim accommodations are also interesting in the monastery ensemble (Santuario). They are the two long rows of small rooms to the side of the church. The name “House of Candles” means you can still imagine the simple and practical life in the 18th century.

        Built in the 18th century, it is an eye-catcher with its baroque architecture and the typical blue and white tiles in which some icons were also kept.
