The Chapel of Our Lady of Health is located in the Assento area, integrated into the locality of Cruz, within the municipality of Celorico de Basto. This position places the chapel in a predominantly rural environment, characteristic of the region's lush green landscape.
Its integration into the area provides a sense of remoteness from the more urban center, allowing visitors to appreciate the tranquility of the Minho countryside. It is a peaceful point of reference within this more dispersed community.
As the name indicates, the chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Health. This devotion is deeply rooted in Portuguese popular culture, being associated with requests for well-being and recovery.
The place thus serves as a small sanctuary for the community's faith, a space where visitors can find a moment for personal reflection or to express their devotion linked to health and hope.
The surroundings of the Chapel of Our Lady of Health invite a pause. Its location in Assento, a quiet area with rural characteristics, contributes to an atmosphere of serenity.
It is a suitable place to enjoy the silence of the countryside and for a brief stop, offering an experience of quietude that contrasts with the rhythm of daily life and allows one to appreciate the simplicity of the setting.
