Senhor da Pedra Chapel
Vila Nova de Gaia
Some say it's one of the most romantic places in Europe.
In 1763, the Capela do Senhor da Pedra (Chapel of the Lord of the Stone) was erected on top of the rocks as a place of worship and adoration, a hexagonal monument made of granite with a white façade and tiles.
An enigmatic aura hangs over this chapel due to its architectural beauty and the associated myths and legends, making it a must-visit. Many photographers pass through here eager to capture its best angle and do justice to its magnificence, so finding a shot that inspires you won’t be challenging.
It has twice been voted “Top 15 Best Beaches” and “Most Romantic Wedding Proposal Places” by European Best Destinations.
Opening hours:
Monday to Sunday
8.30 am – 12.30 pm | 2 pm – 6 pm
