Capela de Nossa Senhora das Verdades
Capela de Nossa Senhora das Verdades, Religious chapel in Historic Center, Porto, Portugal.
The rectangular stone chapel features twisted columns with Eucharistic symbols, vine leaves, and grape bunches decorating its main altar.
Built in 1697 by the Confraternity of Nossa Senhora do Postigo das Verdades, the chapel underwent restoration after damage during the 1832 Porto Siege.
The chapel contains a 14th-century stone statue of Nossa Senhora das Verdades, crafted in the workshops of Coimbra from Ança stone.
The chapel opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:30, serving as a reception center for pilgrims on the Portuguese Coastal Route.
The Virgin Mary statue originally stood atop Porta das Verdades, a gate in Porto's primitive wall, before the gate's demolition in the 19th century.
