The Fátima chapel on Santa Maria: 165 steps, São Pedro and Almagreira
On a hill at Feteiras, in São Pedro parish, a staircase of 165 steps, one for each Hail Mary of the rosary, climbs to a chapel blessed in 1928 that the Shrine of Fátima calls the first in the world dedicated to Our Lady of Fátima after the Chapel of the Apparitions. Around it: São Pedro's farm chapels, Almagreira's Bom Despacho church of 1702, the fort ruins and Santo Amaro chapel at Praia Formosa, the 2026 bus times and a half-day route.
