The Chapel of Senhor da Pedra, built in 1686, stands majestically on a rocky outcrop by the sea in Miramar, Portugal. This unique chapel was constructed on a site that was once sacred to ancient pagan and possibly Celtic worshippers, representing a blend of Christian faith and pagan symbolism. Its hexagonal form and ornate interior with three rococo altars attract numerous visitors and photographers, especially at sunset when the chapel is embraced by golden sands and surrounding waves.
The chapel's history is enriched by legends, including one about fishermen saved by a miraculous glowing stone. It is a striking example of how Christian sites often reclaimed previous pagan sacred places.
