Capela de Nossa Senhora do Livramento

The listed Capela de Nossa Senhora do Livramento (German: Liebfrauenkapelle von Livramento ) is located in Livramento in the municipality of Ponta do Sol , Madeira Island , Portugal .

It was built by Diogo Ferreira (de) Mesquita and his wife Isabel Menezes in 1656. It is built in a mannerist style. Reconstruction work took place. It is somewhat isolated on a hill from which you can overlook Ponta do Sol, so it was also used as a sentinel at times . Ten steps lead to an open entrance gallery; a sacristy is attached to the main room , which resembles a hall church. The chapel is described in more detail by Caetano.

Over the years this private band had passed through several hands. Later the parish organ Fábrica da igreja (German: Bauhütte der Kirche) bought this chapel, today it is owned by the diocese of Funchal . In addition to the main local church, it is one of seven still usable chapels in Ponta do Sol.

In October there is a regular Eucharistic celebration with attached flower procession (lilies), to which people from all parts of the island also make pilgrimages.
