The Ermida de Nossa Senhora do Ó (Hermitage of Our Lady of Ó) is situated on the ramparts of Faro’s old city walls which used to guard the Vila-Adentro. The chapel was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755 and has an interesting facade. It is probably here, during the period of Moorish rule, that a statue of the Virgin mentioned in one of the Canticles of Santa Maria written by King Alfonso X of Castile, was kept.
