340. Chapel Senhor da Pedra
"Lord of the Stone" or "Senhor da Pedra" in
Portuguese, is a small rococo style chapel from the X VII century
located by the Atlantic ocean in Madalena, Portugal.
The cult of Christ the Lord of the Stone may have originated as a ancient pre-Christian pagan worship of the Lord of the Sea.
In the back of the chapel appears a strange marking on the rock in the
shape of horseshoe. The legend says that the mark was left or by the
donkey that transported a Virgin Mary or by the horse of D. Sebastião I,
one of the Portuguese kings.
