Description
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Cape Espichel, is located in Cape Espichel, in the municipality of Sesimbra - Portugal.
More than 600 years ago, in the mid-fourteenth century, a chapel was built to store an image of the Virgin, venerated long on the rock where it was found. Around the chapel were growing modest homes to receive the pilgrims who demanded here, giving later, in 1715, place to the construction of houses and inns with shops, also known as Casas dos Círios.
To the chapel arrived several and numerous groups of Círios (large groups of pilgrims).
