Parish Church of Santa Luzia

Rebuilt in the 20th century on the site of the original 16th century hermitage, the church has undergone various renovations over the centuries.

The current church of Santa Luzia, a modernist building, is the result of the remodelling of a small 16th-century hermitage that existed on the site and which served the fishing population that settled there. The design of the current church, which still includes some elements of the original building, was produced by the architect Manuel Gomes da Costa and was built in 1958.
