Capela de São Pedro

On the slopes of Pico de Ana Ferreira, at Campo de Baixo. Built in the 17th century and altered in the 18th, it blends Baroque and Mannerism: a gilded wooden altarpiece, a painted chancel vault, three 18th-century statues (St Peter, St Francis Xavier, St Anthony) and a stone holy-water font decorated with island shells. On the pebble-paved forecourt a caravel recalls the patron of sailors. On 29 June the São Pedro procession walks here from Ribeiro Salgado beach, followed by the auction of fish offered by the fishermen. A footpath leaves its slopes for the columns of Pico de Ana Ferreira.
