Step inside the heart of Fontinhas at the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Pena, a place that stands as a symbol of local resilience. The current church was built in 1925 after a cyclone destroyed the previous one, continuing a history that dates back to a 15th-century chapel. As you wander inside, you'll be struck by the lovely blue and white azulejo tiles and the beautiful floral arrangements that often surround the statues of saints.
