Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Piedade
Sanctuary composed of four chapels: Chapel of Saint John (15th century), Chapel of Our Lord of Agony (19th century), Chapel of Our Lady of Mercy (probably 17th century), and Chapel of Our Lord of the Afflicted. These chapels were built one at a time, between the 15th and 19th centuries. Their interiors preserve sculptures, such as the painted limestone one of Saint John the Evangelist and the one of Our Lady of Mercy, the latter of which is often brought out on procession days.
