    Location: The church is located in the historic center of Albufeira and is a major focal point for both locals and tourists.

      The parish church of Albufeira, built at the end of the 18th century, is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

      The single-nave interior houses a valuable 18th-century image of the Virgin Mary and a painted altarpiece created in the 20th century by the local artist Samora Barros.

      This church houses the 15th-century image of Nossa Senhora da Orada, which is venerated by fishermen and returned annually in procession to the pilgrimage chapel of the same name. visitportugal.com/de/NR/exeres/4FA22619-CFA2-403A-B1D3-46475C80DB63
