Peaceful Location

Located in the centre of the village of Cabanas do Chão, this small church blends into a calm and welcoming environment, ideal for a brief and serene visit.

Simple and Well-Kept Architecture

White facade with traditional lines, cross on the top, robust wooden door and small bell tower with a bell. The shape is rectangular, with narrow vertical windows and a small round oculus above the entrance.

Welcoming Atmosphere

The area is not very busy, making it ideal for those seeking moments of silence or meditation. The surrounding space has some benches and well-kept flower boxes.

Community Presence

The church is used for local ceremonies, including funerals, although the exterior space does not have a dedicated area for hearses to park, which can cause some traffic congestion on busier days.

Limited Accessibility

The exterior space is small and not prepared for large gatherings or events with many people.

Local Point of Interest

Despite being modest, the church well represents the connection of the small communities in the municipality of Alenquer to their religious and cultural traditions.
