Our Lady of Peace Chapel
Our Lady of Peace Chapel, Religious chapel in Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel Island, Portugal.
The chapel stands at the edge of Lagoa das Furnas, featuring 13 large arcade windows crafted by French artists during the 1880s.
José do Canto commissioned this chapel in memory of his wife, with architect André Breton beginning the construction work in 1864.
The structure incorporates Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements, utilizing local materials such as basalt and tuff worked by Micalense stonemasons.
The chapel maintains regular opening hours for visitors, though its location requires climbing steps as the building lacks wheelchair accessibility.
The interior contains high ceilings with detailed columns and a main altar that combines neo-Romanesque and Gothic designs into a single harmonious space.
