Today we present you one of the places in Algarve that is worth a visit. In Lagoa Municipality, more specifically near Porches there is a chapel in top of a cliff, entering the sea and separating a beach on the left and another one on the right. In medieval ages, it was castle, then in the XVI century it was a fort, but the waves damaged it. Now only the chapel and white walls remain in the place. Says the legend that the chapel was built in the medieval times because Our Lady appeared in that place, and Portuguese king D. Dinis commanded the construction of the fortified walls to protect it. Last week we were there, and these are the pictures that Martyna made of the place. Plus the pictures she took on her first visit there, in February 2013.
