This Carmelite convent, with cloister, chapel and observation tower, has existed since 1730. Throughout its history, the building has had various functions, but from 1993 onwards it became one of the centers of Lagoa's cultural activity.

A 16th century temple, it underwent significant changes in the 18th century. The "rocaille" facade features two towers and a Manueline portal. It has a precious set of tile panels from the 18th century: the chancel chest (Ascension), tympanum (Resurrection) and chancel (Saint James fighting the Moors, the battle of Lepanto and scenes from the Gospel).

Building of remote origins is located in a strait that penetrates the sea. In its construction, this hermitage incorporates stones from previous roman/medieval buildings located nearby. Inside there is a valuable image of the Virgin and Child from the 16th century. This hermitage was once surrounded by a coastal defense fortress that was destroyed by the 1755 earthquake.

It formed, together with the Santa Catarina Fort, the defense of the Arade river estuary. Originally consisting of a watchtower, it was expanded in the 17th and 18th centuries. On the initiative of the poet Coelho Carvalho, at the beginning of the 20th century, the residence underwent major adaptation works, which gave it the romantic aspect it presents today.

The lighthouse was started in 1920 and has a 23 metre high tower.
