Access to the sanctuary guides the visitor along a path that culminates in a point of peace and observation of the rural surroundings.

This chapel, modest yet significantly present, welcomes those seeking a moment of reflection or wishing to pay homage. Its existence attests to the faith and dedication of the local people, becoming a point of pilgrimage and a spiritual refuge for many.
From the summit of Monte dos Carrujos, next to the sanctuary, the gaze extends over a vastness of landscapes. This elevated point offers a stunning panorama over the valleys and hills that characterize the municipality of Sabrosa, allowing for a serene appreciation of the Transmontana nature. It is an invitation to contemplate and capture the natural beauty of the region.

It is a living symbol of the collective memory and cultural richness of this land.
