Anjos Chapel

Anjos Chapel (Ermida de Nossa Senhora dos Anjos) sits on a coastal bluff just west of Ponta do Sol, marking the spot where Madeira’s first Mass is said to have been celebrated in the 15th century. This small whitewashed chapel offers quiet reflection, striking ocean views, and a sense of the island’s early settlement history. It’s an easy stop by the old coastal road, often paired with nearby waterfalls and viewpoints. Visit for the serene setting, simple architecture, and historical significance rather than elaborate interiors or facilities. Best in good weather and daylight for scenery and photos.
