Igreja Paroquial de Nossa Senhora da Graça, Sagres

Sagres’s modern parish church serves the present-day village community, separate from the historic church inside the fortress.

Rua do Mercado, Sagres

What to expect

The diocesan account dates the parish church on Rua do Mercado to the late twentieth century. Its main role is as an active place of worship, so it offers a different kind of visit from the heritage complex on the Sagres headland.

The shared dedication to Nossa Senhora da Graça can cause confusion when choosing a map destination. Use Rua do Mercado for the parish church and the Fortaleza entrance for the historic fortress church; services and parish activities relate to the former.
