The chapel was built in honor of Saint Francis and was named after the Convento Porciúncula, where Saint Francis worked in Assisi.

Despite the sign - Place of Silence - it is unfortunately very noisy here thanks to the B33.
But the view is wonderful and there are benches on which you can make yourself comfortable.

Small chapel above the vineyards at the edge of the forest.
The story about it is already in another comment :-)
