Church of Nossa Senhora da Esperança

Church of Nossa Senhora da Esperança

The Church of Nossa Senhora da Esperança [Our Lady of Hope], stands at the entrance to Serretinha, on the Caminha da Esperança road, and celebrates its feast day on the second Sunday in September. From the 16^th century to the middle of the 20^th century, it was a shrine for pilgrims. In 1650, through the will left by Isabel Gouveia, it received the legacy of the Casa dos Romeiros, or Pilgrims’ House (which no longer exists). It has a single altar, which holds the image of Our Lady of Hope.
