Capela do Senhor da Pedra
This picturesque 17th century chapel is located on the rocks of the beach of the same name, in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Its privileged location on the granite means that it stands defiantly facing the Atlantic despite not reaching 10 meters in height. Built on a hexagonal floor plan in 1686 in a place of pagan worship, it stands out for its main altar with baroque carvings and the two side altarpieces that surround the crucified Christ.
The access staircase is 150 meters from the promenade, so it is necessary to cross the sand and stones to reach it. This means that, at high tide, it is impossible to walk there, as it is surrounded by the sea.
Duration: 30 minutes
