The Chapel was built on the spot where, according to legend, the Virgin appeared. The tile panels (18th century) inside tell the story. The view from there, over Praia dos Lagosteiros and the coast to Lisbon, is unforgettable.

The temple of medieval origin (15th century) was built on the exact spot where, according to tradition, the image of Our Lady was found.
