Peninha
Up high, at 488 meters of altitude, the Sanctuary of Peninha enchants with its unshakable magic and mystique. Built out of popular devotion, the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Penha (Peninha) follows an alleged apparition of Our Lady to a poor shepherdess. This architectural complex also comprises the secular chapel of São Saturnino and an enigmatic romantic-revival mansion built in 1918 by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (owner of Quinta da Regaleira).
Place of worship since ancient times and heir to a long magic-religious tradition, it is shrouded in legends that have crossed generations of pilgrims.
