Capela do Senhor da Pedra

This guide to the Capela do Senhor da Pedra in Miramar opens with a drowning sailor's bargain with the sea and the granite rock he says he washed up on, the story locals tell for why this six-sided chapel sits balanced at the edge of the beach. It also traces an older layer beneath that legend, a possible pagan shrine, and a gentler tale of builders drawn to the rock by a mysterious flickering light. Look for the tiled panel by the entrance hinting at that pre-Christian past.
