    (Translated by Google) The chapel of Memoria, surrounded by a small viewpoint with a churchyard, from which you can see a privileged view of the vertiginous and abyssal bay of Lagosteiros, dates from the end of the 15th century. Inside is a set of 18th-century tiles that tell the legend of the apparition of Senhora do Cabo, recorded since 1410, and the subsequent construction of the Sanctuary in the 18th century. The legend relates the dream of two elderly people, who saw the Saint being carried by a white mule up the cliff, and marking the trail with its hooves. This trail was later identified as being from late Jurassic sauropod dinosaurs. In 1997 it was classified as a natural monument. (Original) A ermida da Memoria, rodeada por um pequeno miradouro com adro, de que se avista uma privilegiada vista para a vertiginosa e abissal baía dos Lagosteiros, data de finais do século XV. Possui no seu interior um conjunto de azulejos setecentistas que narram a lenda da aparição da Senhora do Cabo, registada desde1410, e a posterior construção do Santuário no século XVIII. A lenda relata o sonho de dois idosos, que viram a Santa a ser carregada por uma mula branca subindo a falésia, e marcando o trilho com os seus cascos. Este trilho foi mais tarde identificado como sendo de dinossáurios Saurópodes do Jurássico Superior. Em 1997 foi classificado como monumento natural

    (Translated by Google) Hermitage that is in the cable of espichel next to the sanctuary. With a magnificent view of the ocean. Too bad to be a little abandoned (Original) Ermida que se encontra no cabo de espichel junto ao santuário. Com uma vista magnífica para o oceano. Pena estar um pouco ao abandono

    (Translated by Google) The Ermida da Memória is located in Cabo Espichel and is part of the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Pedra Mua, being the oldest element of this architectural complex. It is a temple of medieval origin and was built precisely in the place where, according to tradition, the image of Our Lady was found. (Original) A Ermida da Memória situa-se no Cabo Espichel e está integrada no Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Pedra Mua sendo o elemento mais antigo deste conjunto arquitetónico. É um templo de origem medieval e foi construído precisamente no local onde, segundo reza a tradição, terá sido achada a imagem de Nossa Senhora.

    (Translated by Google) We leave the "noble" area of ​​the sanctuary and are confronted with this small chapel much older than the church of Senhora do Cabo. There is a set of tiles that deserve to be appreciated but it is necessary that the hermitage be open which does not happen (probably to avoid acts of vandalism). Extreme care must be taken with the cliffs and cliffs, for in our eagerness to absorb all the beauty of the sight we may approach dangerously the cliffs. (Original) Saímos da zona "nobre" do santuário e somos confrontados com esta pequena ermida bem mais antiga que a igreja da Senhora do Cabo. Há um conjunto de azulejaria que merece ser apreciado mas é necessário que a ermida esteja aberta o que não acontece (provavelmente para evitar actos de vandalismo). É preciso ter um extremo cuidado com as falésias e arribas, pois na ânsia de absorvermos toda a beleza das vistas, podemos aproximarmo-nos perigosamente dos precipícios.

    (Translated by Google) Quirky but beautiful chapel with exceptional views. “With a quadrangular plan and low-rise walls, the temple is crowned by an unusual counter-curved dome, in the shape of a bulb, topped by a rounded pinnacle (but whose terminal ball disappeared in the 1990s). Surrounded by a small viewpoint with a churchyard, from which you can see an extraordinary wide view, the interior is covered up to half height by ashlars of blue and white 18th century tiles, from the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. XVIII, representing the discovery of the image of Nossa Senhora do Cabo, the construction of the Ermida, the Church and the Hostels and the "cirios" or pilgrimages of the time. The temple, of medieval origin, was built precisely on the spot where, according to tradition, the image of Our Lady was found.” (Original) Ermida peculiar, mas linda com umas vistas excepcionais. “De planta quadrangular e paredes pouco elevadas, o templo é coroado por uma invulgar cúpula contracurvada, em forma de bolbo, terminada por um pináculo boleado (mas cuja bola terminal desapareceu nos anos 90 do século passado). Rodeada por um pequeno miradouro com adro, de que se avista uma extraordinária panorâmica alargada, tem o interior revestido até meia altura por silhares de azulejos setecentistas azuis e brancos, dos inícios da segunda metade do séc. XVIII, representando a descoberta da imagem de Nossa Senhora do Cabo, a construção da própria Ermida, da Igreja e das Hospedarias e os "círios" ou romarias da época. O templo, de origem medieval, foi construído precisamente no local onde, segundo reza a tradição, terá sido achada a imagem de Nossa Senhora.”

    (Translated by Google) Well there you are at the end of the paved road on a large free car park (in September), the view is magnificent on the rocky cliffs and the small coves below, the lighthouse not far can also be a possibility of hiking or access by car! possibility of visiting the religious building but on weekends during masses. (Original) Bon là vous êtes au bout de la route bitumée sur un grand parking gratuit (en septembre), la vue est magnifique sur les falaise de rochers et les petites criques en contrebas, le phare non loin peut être aussi une possibilité de randonnée ou alors accès en voiture! possibilité de visiter l'édifice religieux mais le week end lors des messes.
