Chapel of the Fort of S. Filipe (Setúbal)
The Chapel of Saint Philip, located in Setúbal, is an invaluable treasure in the context of religious monuments in the region. Located in the city center, it offers a sublime view of both the city and the Sado river. Its baroque style is completely covered in blue and white tiles, in whose panels scenes of the life of this emblematic saint are portrayed. The cradle vault, combined with the gilded altarpiece, make this place a very singular space for prayer. The chapel is small but has a beauty that catches the eye: a symbol of faith, tranquility and respect.
The historical and mystical tone of the place is evident in the walls. Being an old building, we can find a rich collection of sacred arts, from the altar to the sacristy. In addition, the place is quite accessible, allowing for car visits.
It seems that there are many qualities of this wonderful chapel. It is without a doubt a special place, worth visiting. An obligatory stop for those who wish to learn about the stories and traditions of the Setúbal region.
