Hermitage of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Medieval chapel in Raposeira, Portugal
The Hermitage of Our Lady of Guadalupe features a rectangular plan with buttresses, an eight-column vault, and capitals adorned with branches, shells, and human heads.
Built during King Denis's reign in the late 13th century, this chapel survived the 1755 earthquake and maintains its original Romano-Gothic architectural elements.
The chapel houses a museum dedicated to Prince Henry the Navigator, displaying artifacts and information about his maritime exploration achievements and local influence.
Located between Budens and Raposeira in the Algarve region, the chapel interior can accommodate 400 people for religious services and gatherings.
Two functional gargoyles on the south side direct rainwater from the sacristy roof through the wall and over the vestry, demonstrating medieval engineering.
