Nossa Senhora de Fátima Chapel is a unique religious monument on the north coast of Madeira Island. This quaint chapel stands tall, It is perched on the edge of the cliff that overlooks down on both sides to two beautiful beaches. Visitors can take a stroll back in time as they step into this small and picturesque religious temple that dates back to the 16th century. Whether you are a history buff or simply looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, the Nossa Senhora da Penha de França Chapel is sure to be an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend checking it out!
