Mértola's chapels are located in high or hidden places. It is said that the higher they are, the closer to God and the more intense the devotion they inspire. Rarely used in daily life, they come to life especially during festive times, when the community gathers to celebrate.
The chapel of Nossa Senhora do Amparo is no exception: situated in a privileged spot, it offers a superb panorama, capable of leaving anyone immersed in contemplative silence.
