Formerly known as the church of São Pedro de Finisterra, the Bom Jesus Sanctuary was built in the 19th century, but one of the bells dates back to 1737. Located about 21 km east of Lourinhã, it is in delightful woodlands with a house for pilgrims and a bandstand; various processions take place on Sundays from July to September. The legend surrounding the sanctuary is that a chest was found on the shore at Peniche and was taken to a prior for opening. Inside was the statue of Jesus now displayed for public worship.
