Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Urtiga or Ortiga
According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to a mute shepherd who requested a lamb. A statue was later discovered in the site, in the midst of undergrowth and nettles, and a chapel was constructed. The offerings and ex-votos demonstrate profound worship of the Saint. The small chapel has a rustic architectural style.
An annual pilgrimage is held during the summer.
