(Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Vitórias)


The Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Vitórias, dedicated to Our Lady of the Victories, a small funerary chapel on the southwestern corner of Lagoa das Furnas in the civil parish of Furnas. There are 13 three metre-high arcade windows: two twin windows in the nave, three simple windows in the axial chapel and the rest in the transept between the structural members. These windows were executed by Mégnen, Clamens et Borderau in 1883-1884, based on the instructions of José do Canto. They are encased in steel and protected by a metal mesh screen, and applied by the original producers.

The tower, of four stories, all with long, narrow Roman arches and sculpted capitals, and surmounted by an elegant spire. On top of the belfry, there are four small turrets with conical pinnacles, triangular niches along the spire and a Christian cross at the apex
