Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Graça

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:42:08

This small whitewashed church dates from 1570 and sits within the Sagres fortress precinct. It is a simple barrel-vaulted structure with a gilded 17th-century altarpiece. Take a closer look at the tiled altar panels, which feature elephants and antelopes. The bell tower was built over the former charnel house of the cemetery.
