Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Lapa, Religious sanctuary in Quintela, Portugal

The sanctuary features a chapel with Corinthian columns, decorated with polychromatic vegetal designs on azulejo tiles covering interior walls.

The initial chapel construction dates to 1498, while the current structure was built in the 17th century under Jesuit administration.

The sanctuary contains an oratory of Senhora das Dores with a nativity scene created by António Ferreira inside its granite walls.

The sanctuary welcomes visitors and pilgrims on three major dates: June 10, August 15, and September 8 for religious celebrations.

A large granite rock marks the location where a mute girl named Joana discovered the image of Virgin Mary in the 15th century.
