Inspired Prayers

On a previous post of Cape Espichel - “Gateway To Heaven” (www.flickr.com/photos/142581467@N05/49885571788/in/datepo...) I’ve presented a view of the Nossa Senhora do Cabo Church, namely of its façade and the lateral accommodation wings.

This view here is taken from the other side (after crossing the “magic gate” mentioned in that post), on the area immediately preceding the sea (on my back as I was taking this shot) that was also the subject of a previous post here covering the nearby lighthouse (www.flickr.com/photos/142581467@N05/49912818718/in/datepo...).

The buildings here are simple but beautiful and blend harmoniously with the raw and wild, desolate place, where giant waves crash against sheer, towering cliffs. Whom could ask for a more inspiring view?

From the 13th century onwards this spot has been a place of pilgrimage. Legend tells that Virgin Mary was seen there, riding a giant mule. The church – “Nossa Senhora do Cabo Church” (Our Lady of the Cape, protectress of fishermen) – was built in 1701 and is worth a visit, to admire the ornately finished interior, beautifully painted ceiling and experience the tranquillity of the place.
