Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Bom Sucesso
This church is linked to a popular tradition that tells that the waters of the Tejo have, at the time of the earthquake, advanced and endangeered the population. Thus, the fishermen have grabbed the image of the patron saint that made them miraculously go back and saved them from the tsunami. The façade is typical of the post-earthquake times. A special note to the sun clocks on the left tower, some of the finest exemplaries in the region.
