The small Chapel of São Jorge is located in Fajã dos Vimes, on the island of the same name. The date of its construction is not known for certain, but everything indicates that it was built in the 18th century - there having been an even older one destroyed by an earthquake, with the current chapel being rebuilt on that occasion.
