The Chapel of Saint Anthony is prominently located, erected on top of a hill, in the locality of Casais de São Jorge, in the municipality of Soure. Its elevation ensures a wide and unobstructed view over the surrounding landscape, namely over the vast expanse of the Baixo Mondego.
This small chapel stands out not only for its elevated location but also for its unique construction process. It is a space that reflects the community spirit of the region, as it was built through the effort and dedication of the local population itself.
This fact gives it an authentic character and a deep connection with the people of Casais de São Jorge, making it a symbol of faith and popular unity in the area.
One of the greatest attractions of a visit to the Chapel of Saint Anthony is, without a doubt, the panoramic view that can be enjoyed from there. From its highest point, the gaze extends unobstructed over the vastness of the Baixo Mondego, revealing a tapestry of fields and valleys.
It is a privileged place to contemplate the serenity of the Portuguese rural landscape, ideal for those seeking a moment of tranquility and visual appreciation of the territory.
