The Chapel of São Jacinto is located in the parish of Coto, near Caldas da Rainha, about 4 kilometers from the city.
It is believed that the chapel was built in the 17th century, along an old cattle route. Its current structure dates from 1745, reflecting the classic Baroque influence of the time of D. João V.
Built in Baroque style, it has a simple facade adorned with stone pilasters and a triangular pediment. The interior is covered with blue and white tiles, highlighting the chancel with a vaulted ceiling.
In addition to the chapel, the area includes other small villages such as Vale do Coto, Casais da Ponte, Casais da Serralheira and Casais de São Jacinto.

Historical and decorative tiles within the building demonstrate local traditions passed down through history.
