Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Rocha
Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Rocha, Religious shrine in Queijas, Portugal
The sanctuary features a rectangular layout with stepped volumes and a triangular pediment topped by a central cross over the main entrance.
Construction of Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Rocha Sanctuary took place between 1839 and 1892, designed by architect José da Costa Sequeira.
The devotion to Nossa Senhora is deeply connected to Portuguese identity, as King João IV declared the Virgin Mary as Queen of Portugal.
The sanctuary holds regular Sunday and holiday masses at 12:30, welcoming visitors through its single-nave structure covered by a barrel vault.
A compartment near the church foundations leads to a grotto through a single flight of stairs, marking the original site of devotion.
