The Sanctuary of Senhor Jesus da Pedra is located in the parish of Santa Maria, in the municipality of Óbidos, in the western region of Portugal. The Sanctuary was classified as a Monument of Public Interest in 2013.

The website www.visitportugal.com recommends this church, stating: "Don't miss a visit to this sanctuary, located outside the city walls of Óbidos. Its octagonal exterior silhouette stands out from afar, crowned by a large pyramid covered with green glazed tiles. It was built between 1740 and 1747, during the Baroque period. However, its details were never completed. Perhaps this is why several of the windows are strangely reversed. It is dedicated to Senhor da Pedra, and the pilgrimage to this site takes place on May 28th."

The Castelo de Óbidos is a medieval castle and symbolically towers over the town of Óbidos. The fortification is likely of Roman origin, but the region was settled even earlier, in prehistoric times. Its eventful history over the decades can be found here: https://www.burgen.de/burgen-und-schloesser/portugal/castelo-de-obidos/ In the 20th century, the Castelo de Óbidos was found completely in ruins. Starting in 1932, the castle underwent the first consolidation, reconstruction, and restoration work. It was restored to accommodate state guests – the first Portuguese state accommodation in a historic building. Therefore, the interior of the castle is unfortunately no longer open to visitors.

Very beautiful

The Sanctuary of Senhor da Pedra is a Baroque temple located on the outskirts of Óbidos. It has the particularity of articulating a cylindrical volume (exterior) with a hexagonal polygon (interior), in a centered plan to which three bodies are attached (two corresponding to the towers and another corresponding to the sacristy). In its program of symmetries, the play of inverted windows stands out. Its interior has three chapels: the main chapel dedicated to Calvary, with a painting by André Gonçalves, and the side chapels dedicated to Our Lady of the Conception and the Death of Saint Joseph, with paintings by José da Costa Negreiros. The “strange” stone image of the Crucified Christ, on its own pedestal on the High Altar, was kept in a small chapel next to the road to Caldas da Rainha until the inauguration of the Sanctuary, where it was the object of great devotion, particularly by King D. João V. The construction of the Sanctuary is due to the miracle that occurred with King D. João V “Valha-me o Senhor da Pedra” (The Lord of the Stone).

Simply a wonderful experience

This house 🏠 looks like the house of the painter Claude Monet 🎨, but,... without the garden.
