Our Lady of Penha Chapel, Portuguese Catholic church on Penha Hill, Macau.
The Our Lady of Penha Chapel features Neo-Manueline architecture and stands atop Penha Hill, offering views of Sai Van Lake and Macau Tower.
In 1622, Portuguese sailors constructed the chapel after escaping Dutch pursuers during their journey from Macau to Nagasaki, fulfilling their promise to Virgin Mary.
The chapel hosts an annual pilgrimage each May 13th, with a procession starting at St. Domingo Church and advancing through Macau streets to Penha Hill.
Visitors can access the chapel daily between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM using public buses numbered 6, 9, or 28B to reach the hill location.
A statue of Our Lady of Lourdes stands in front of the chapel, accompanied by a grotto positioned at the base of the hillside staircase.
