Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Church in Peniche

Since there are no certainties regarding the date of its construction, it is believed that the Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Church in Peniche was part of an old sanctuary dedicated to Marian worship.

The legend also says that the construction of the church was done around the place where the image of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios was found, being at the same time the justification for the designation of the church.
