Nossa Senhora da Nazaré

[2] The church was built in 1664 by Governor André Vidal de Negreiros (1606–1680) in gratitude to the Virgin Mary for safeguarding his ship during a storm which occurred while he was travelling to Angola.

A plaque on the wall, however, indicates it was in fact dedicated to victory at the Battle of Ambuila in 1665.

[4] The little church consists of a rather austere rectangular nave and chancel built in a simple Baroque architecture style.

The original plans show that the facade was to be flanked by two towers but these were never built.
