- Capela do Senhor da Pedra - This charming 17th-century chapel is perched on the rocks of the beach bearing the same name, in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Its unique position on the granite allows it to boldly face the Atlantic, despite its height being less than 10 meters. Constructed on a hexagonal plan in 1686 at a site of former pagan worship, it is notable for its main altar with baroque carvings and the two side altarpieces flanking the crucified Christ.
The access stairway is located 150 meters from the promenade, requiring a walk across sand and stones to reach it. At high tide, it becomes inaccessible on foot, as it is encircled by the sea.
